Depends on the weather. Go for a walk, the park and take a ball, play on the swings.

Indoors they could play with cars, paint, draw, jigsaws, Lego, etc.

Blippi? No, only seen adults in seriously annoying overly americanised accents opening random toys. Is that what he does too?

Haha oh I know those ones too, he does some toy stuff but mostly things like kids play park tours. Songs about frozen raspberries! Can be mind numbing but but the little kids seem to like him.

Amything , dosnt really matter what, but anything that involves mess. Make a cake, let them mix it and add ingredients, get paint out and do finger and hand drawings, get in the garden and find a muddy area . As long as it gets them covered they will be happy. Add on too that bath time is more fun for them when you find a child under all that mess.

Easy peezy.

We used to make a den under the living room table.

Kids love that kind of thing. Hide and seek, hunt the thimble, paper aeroplanes, anything that inspires their imagination. Read a book to them.

Best of luck!

I'm all for messy play. Biscuits and icing pens to decorate them. Get a big roll of paper or even cheap wallpaper, some water based paint, strip them to pants and let them paint with their hands and feet. Newspaper on the floor below and make sure the bath is run first - get them chucked straight in for a splash after.

Wellies and puddles are good fun too. Park if it's dry and have fun

Local park to feed the ducks after play time..

Depends how long u have them for.. but when I have my nieces we..

Play dressing up n hide n seek n dancing.

Then maybe some cupcake making or crispy cakes then a walk to the park play n feed the ducks... fresh air will tire them out .. then dinner little bit of tv or a movie.. then bath n bed time stories

Get them outside to run about and burn off some energy, otherwise they are likely to run you ragged. If its raining what about the local swimming pool - or soft play centre.

"Calpol "

Tut tut. Surely a last resort. After a thimble of whisky or a puff on a spliff.
