Sensory rice play is great for young kids of all ages, as they all explore it differently. This twist on a traditional sensory rice kit includes peppermint scented rice, some Christmas decorations to play with and homemade scoops to keep things simple.

Children's Christmas ornaments are always a fun keepsake to look back on, especially when it involves an element that reminds you of how small they were! These snowglobes are a heap of fun to add to your mantle and will be a great memento in the years to come.

Baking with kids can sometimes be more stressful than it is worth. That's why super simple "baking" activities like these reindeer biscuits are my favourite! It gets the kids involved but there is minimal mess and it's easy to do.

Cloud dough is crumbly yet mouldable, and is a great alternative to playdoh. It's super easy to make yourself, and can be adapted to suit different scents and flavours.

Put a spin on your traditional playdoh mix and make some gingerbread playdoh! Perfect for little people to pretend baking cookies, this is a great addition to any play kitchens or just get it out on the kitchen bench while you're cooking and let them join in.

Fizzy Christmas Presents is a great science activity to do with the kids! Watch as they learn about the reaction between vinegar and bicarb soda, and find some hidden surprises.
