Keep the Kids Entertained this Summer with Gardening Delights

The summer holidays are already here and you need to think of plenty of things to keep the kids entertained, quick! We don’t think kids should spend their summer holidays stuck in front of the TV; encourage them to spend their time in the garden helping you out or learning about wildlife and nature. Get the kids in the garden Take advantage of the odd dry summery day and encourage your kids or grandchildren to help you in the garden over the holidays. Our kids gardening kits come with everything they need to be your little helper, one even comes with an apron to try and keep them clean!

Wildlife Do you remember being a kid and being fascinated by bugs, insects and wildlife? Provide the local wildlife with somewhere safe to life and teach the kids about the roles of certain animals in the garden and the importance of conservation. Our wildlife and birdcare sections offer everything you need to give wildlife a helping hand, including; bird houses, hedgehog houses, insects houses, bee houses and a gift set to help you make your own insect house. For a rainy day It’s pouring down with rain outside and the kids are shouting “I’m bored!”, sounds a bit like a nightmare doesn’t it? Keep the kids entertained on a rainy day by getting crafty. We’ve picked two of our favourite crafty gift sets that we think kids will love;

Make Your Own Zebra; everything you need to make an adorable sock zebra in a tin!
Spiro Art Kit; get creative with Spiro Art in a Tin and create doodles, bookmarks, cards and more.

Ornamental animal gifts Brighten up the garden, or the house, with your very own ornamental menagerie. We have a huge selection of ornamental animal figures including; meerkats, donkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, chicks and more, so there’s plenty for the kids to choose from. Our ornamental animals are weatherproof which means they’re just as happy living outside in your garden as they are sat inside on a shelf or windowsill.
