Knowing that most of you are probably hugely excited about the Easter Holidays and spending lots of time with your precious offspring (and nothing at all to do with two bank holidays off work and cracking out the BBQ)… Family & Parenting thought we’d offer up some ideas for Things to do with children during the Easter Holidays – and we give you “Making painted Easter Eggs with your kids”.

Mixing the ingredients to make DIY slime

Before we continue, I’d just like to say – it might seem like Family & Parenting magazine are late to the make your own slime party and that’s because it’s true. We have held out as long as humanly possible in the face of pressure from a 10 and 7 year-old. The kids have been pestering to make slime for a long time, they have an increasingly diverse collection of putties and slimes that are in various colours, textures, glow-in-the-dark, and other vile-to-the-touch things that only children could love.
