With half term just around the corner we know we’ll be looking for inspiration to keep our children entertained (and out of mischief!) while at home.

To help parents and carers get a few minutes of peace, we have pulled together all of our “Keeping the kids entertained” science experiments into one document that will hopefully help you set up some activities to keep the little ones busy this holiday.
