Tomorrow is a big day for me - im looking after my niece and nephew for the first time (they are 5&7).
They are amazing kids and really no trouble, but I am 35 and have had zero idea about "kids stuff".
I have plumped for the "theme park for the day" which seemed the most sensible to prevent boredom - but just incase I run out of ideas - does anyony have any gems that I can fall back onto if they start to whinge/moan/reaslise that uncle guy osnt quite so cool as we thought!
thanks

Make their own pizzas. Keeps them entertained and they'll eat it because they made it themselves. I can give you an easy peasy recipe if ya decide to go that route.

this is a good idea, kids love making pizza. Pick your own fruit/vege place, indoor play centre like Monkey Mates (different ones in every area) Could just take them to a normal play park for an hour or so. |

Go looting with them, always a fun day out.
Stay clear of DVD's and " shut up" food, be pro active and put them first. Pay attention to them .... Simplez

I assume you're near MK then, if its Gullivers World. It's aimed at younger kids so should be perfect for 5&7 year olds. There's always Xscape nearby too - cinema, bowling, arcades, skiing, etc all in one place. |

Cooking is a great plan to fall back on in general and as that's likely to be a fall back plan for later on in the day you should add dessert/cake-y stuff as well as pizza's imo. Something like fridge cake* would be good - after all it doesn't matter how hyped up they are when you hand them back  * http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/chocolatefridgecake_74814 |
