Blow bubbles

Always keep a tub of bubble solution handy in the kitchen as a wonderful solution to boredom. You can buy them very cheaply from 'pound' shops and they often come with lots of different size and shaped pipes to make unusual bubbles which your little one will love popping or catching or blowing.

Or make your own bubble solution from washing up liquid to save yourself some money. Let your child play in the sink with some bubbles too and let them have fun looking at the rainbow colours.
