The summer holidays are here, but for most of us, that doesn’t mean work stops.Despite booking multiple days off and roping in anyone I can help with childcare, it is inevitable that, at various points over the next six weeks, the kids will be cooped up in my office with me while I try to work. As someone who likes to plan, I’ve already invested in several items to help keep my little ones happy and occupied whilst I keep serving up insightful content on small business tech. I’m keen to provide them with retro-style pastimes and give them some options that get them creative and active, without creating too much noise. That said, I am already eyeing up a £300+ gaming console to get myself some quiet time – and it’s only week two (it's all about balance, right?)Below you'll find the list of products I'm using, or planning to use, to survive the summer holidays. Half are under £20, with the rest requiring a bit more of an investment. Of course, there is still a chance that by week six, you'll find me in the playpen playing Pokémon whilst my kids run riot.Under £20 Silvine A4+ Classic Scrapbook Pritt Glue Sticks MACMILLAN The Gruffalo and Friends: Amazing Animals Sticker Book CiaraQ Air Dry Clay Daimeitec Catching Sticks Game EarFun Kids Headphones Wireless JOYIN Rock Painting Kit for Kids Kiztoys 26 Inches Kids Dart Board Set Over £20 (but worth it)
