Hi does anyone have any ideas of what to put in activity packs for children to keep them busy? We have children ranging from 3 years to 9 years
Any ideas would be great
Thank you

    We got some from Etsy as you can pick the ages. They had colouring bit for older ones there were wordsearches (wedding theme) some quizzes and a page where they had to go find a person in say a red dress, someone left handed someone with the same name etc. Google wedding activity pack for kids, loads of options.

    I agree with Charlotte - a colouring book for the younger ones and a puzzle book for the older ones, along with a pack of pens/crayons appropriate to the age. I'd also maybe add a small puzzle/pocket-money toy (you can get packs in most supermarkets - have a look in the party section as they're usually meant for kids party bags - or check out Wilko for their own-brand lego-type blocks. I got a few of their tiny kits for £1 each last year!). A tube of bubble mix always goes down well as long as there will be a space where they can use it. Maybe a simple craft kit - check out Baker Ross as they do some great craft kits - scratch art magnets, peel & stick foam bookmarks, polystyrene birds/planes/dinosaurs that kids can colour in and slot together to fly. Many of their kits would work for kids to make at a reception table, as they don't need glue or paint.

    Hey
    We ordered some activity books on Amazon like the ones someone mentioned above on esty. Our venue also has a room off the reception room that they are putting sofa and TV in just incase the kids need a break. Could your venue have similar?

    For your activity packs, you could include a variety of simple, fun items like crayons, coloring pages, and small puzzle books for younger children (ages 3-5). For the older ones (ages 6-9), you might add fun games like tic-tac-toe, word searches, or even a small DIY craft kit. Stickers, small toys (think slinkies, bubbles, or fidget spinners), and personalized items like a small notebook or a custom print on demand t-shirt with their name or a fun design will also keep them entertained. You can also consider a small treat, like candy or a cookie, to make the pack feel like a special gift!
