Need a few ideas for fun activities for kids while you're all at home? Schools are officially closed until further notice, and soft plays or anywhere else kid-friendly are a complete no-no right now.

A lot of this stuff is on sale (so will save you precious ££s), will be sure to keep them entertained for a while (so you can get in some well deserved me time or catch up on the housework that comes with the whole family being home all day every day). We're trying not to think about it, too.

Head over to our deals page for plenty more offers, kid-friendly or not.

Hi! I'm Annie, and I'm the Head Ecommerce Editor at Real Homes. Along with my team, I'm here to review all of the products you might be considering buying for your home. As someone who lives in a flat with a small amount of storage space to work with, and with two indoor pets to clean up after, I am forever searching for stylish yet functional appliances that won't blemish my decor if I can't fit them in a cupboard. I love decorating my living room for each season, while my other hobbies include drinking a decent cup of coffee, going on park walks with my dog and enjoying an Instagrammable brunch with my husband.
