Being creative is an excellent way to keep ourselves busy and stimulate our minds. Have a look at the list to see if there is anything that you could have a go at…

• Join author Rob Bidulph to learn how to draw characters online: http://www.robbidulph.com/draw-with-robRob biddulph

• Lots of us have mindfulness colouring books; now is the time to dust them off with some relaxing colouring…
• Hold a paper aeroplane competition. Compare different designs and see how well they fly and land
• Make a set of bookmarks to encourage reading.
• Use insulating or masking tape to create a road map on your floor. Drive toy cars around your imaginary town and use other toys as landmarks and local characters.
• Create an artistic collage – cut out from magazines and catalogues, use stickers and paint to bring it to life. If you have an empty picture frame it can go on the wall.
• Raid the garden for decent sized stones and do some rock paintings.
