I've kept 5m kids entertained with cheap, minimal-mess activities – the best hobby to keep them busy for 3h+ this summer

Emma's three children tried the activities and crafts and the 'I'm Bored Jar' was a huge success SCREEN-FREE FUN I've kept 5m kids entertained with cheap, minimal-mess activities – the best hobby to keep them busy for 3h+ this summer IN a spin about what to do with the kids this summer? You're not alone. The six-week break can be stressful, especially when you're low on cash and inspiration. 5 Kimberly has kept millions of kids entertained with her crafty ideas Credit: SUPPLIED 5 Emma's children busy crafting Credit: EMMA LAZENBY But crafting queen and married mum-of-two Kimberly McLeod, 39, has been throwing lifelines to millions of mess-hating, activity-averse mums for a decade, with fun videos and easy-to-follow print-outs on her @bestideasforkids social media platforms and website. Based in Toronto, Canada, her five million-strong community of parents, grandparents, teachers and carers love her simple, creative ideas for kids of all ages, attention spans and interests. She even counts singer Alanis Morissette and Meghan Markle's comedian pal Mindy Kaling as firm followers. But there's nothing fancy about her content, and therein lies her appeal. Think toilet rolls, washing up liquid, twigs and lolly sticks, and you'll get an idea of how accessible her activities are. A self-confessed 'mess-hater' with screen-loving kids, this influencer is refreshingly honest about the challenges of entertaining young kids at home. 'It's a constant battle to wrestle kids off the screens', she says. 'And I know crafting can feel overwhelming with the mess-factor and not knowing where to start or what to do. 'But it doesn't have to be messy, and you can begin with a few basic supplies that you probably already have. I think parents just need a bank of ideas, it's as simple as that. 'The best bit though, is that parents get a bit of peace when the kids really get into something, especially in the summer holidays. The schools close for eight weeks here in Canada, so I feel that pain!' On her rise to mum-preneurship, Kimberly says: 'I liked art at school but I never thought of it as a career, until I did a few crafting activities with my son as a toddler (now aged 11) and posted them on Pinterest. Unbelievably, they went viral. 'When I went back to my Brand Manager job after having my daughter (now aged nine), I was struggling with the juggle, so I took the leap and quit, going all in with Best Ideas for Kids. 'I posted more activities on my socials and things blew up very quickly. People were sharing my content and I soon had this loyal community of followers. It just keeps growing!' Getting started Kimberly says: 'To keep things tidy and organised, consider getting a craft trolley. Fill it with a few simple bits like sellotape, acrylic paint, glue, crayons and cardboard to start with. Kimberley's top activities: Bouncing bubbles Cost: A few pence You will need: ¼ cup of sugar ¼ cup of washing up liquid 1 cup warm water Mix everything in a large bowl and leave overnight to ensure the sugar fully dissolves, making the bubbles stronger and more stretchy so they can bounce. Then, make the accompanying bubble wands, below. 5 Emma's son trying the bubble wands out Credit: EMMA LAZENBY Bubble wands Cost: Under £3 Playtime: 1-2 hours You will need: 1 x pack of pipe cleaners (roughly £3 from Amazon) Jewellery beads (optional) Shape the ends of the pipe cleaners into circles or hearts (squares or stars too, but they're trickier) leaving enough length to hold. To stretch the activity out, you can pimp them up by threading beads onto the 'handle'. Then dip into your liquid solution and start blowing bubbles of all shapes and sizes. They'll bounce if you're careful with them! 'I'm Bored' jar Cost: Under £3 Playtime: Whole morning/afternoon You will need: Handful of old or bought ice lolly sticks (pack of coloured sticks available from Amazon) Empty glass jar Pens 5 Emma's daughter holding her 'bored' jar Credit: EMMA LAZENBY Ask the kids to think of at least five things they enjoy doing and then get them to write (or write for them) each activity on a lollipop stick. It could be 'make up a dance routine' or 'build a Lego house'. Pop the sticks into a jar. Every time they're 'bored,' they can dip in and choose an activity. When they're bored with that one, send them back to the jar, and so on. Leaf printing Cost: Under £3 Playtime: 1hr 30mins - 2hrs (including scavenging time) You will need: Acrylic paint Paintbrush Large sheets of card (or paper) A collection of leaves Go outside to gather leaves in different shapes and sizes. Cover the back of your leaf with a generous, even amount of paint. Press firmly onto your card, making sure to rub and press every part of your leaf so the veins on the back of the leaf will make an impression. Freestyle any picture! A rainbow, a leaf person - anything you like. Nature scavenger hunt Cost: A few pence (for printing) Playtime: 1hr - 1hr 30mins Perfect for getting the kids outside, they can take this sheet to the park or on a walk. You can raise the stakes by making it a challenge - who can tick off the most? Even the little ones are guaranteed to spot a few of the things on the sheet, with simple things like 'moss', 'insect', 'rock' etc. What do kids think? Mum-of-three Emma Lazenby put a couple of Kimberly's activities to the test... With her limited crafting supplies and skills, Emma gathered her kids, aged 11, nine and six and got crafting! She says: 'I loved the idea of the 'I'm Bored Jar' and ordered a pack of multi-coloured lollipop sticks from Amazon (£1.25 for 50). The kids miraculously engaged with this immediately, scrawling their favourite activities, like 'draw a monster' and 'play a Screwball Scramble tournament'. They kept coming back for more and this filled most of a Saturday afternoon, which was a result! However, I wish I'd have separated the activities into 'no-help-from-mum-required' and 'mum-needed' jars, as my youngest son's first selection was 'bake a cake', which I hadn't signed up to, but had to do - this being the rules. Next up, making the bubble solution and wands in fun colours, shapes and sizes. It was all very easy, despite the fear of our solution falling short on bubble size. But we spent a good 45 minutes in the garden as the kids took it in turns to perfect their bubble-blowing while the others chased them, bursting each one before it had the chance to bounce. Obviously! Egg box garden Cost: Under £3 Playtime: 1hr - 1hr 30mins You will need: 6-egg box Coloured buttons Coloured card Green acrylic paint Ice lolly sticks Strong glue 1. Cut off the top of the egg carton, paint it green and let it dry. 2. Paint the lolly sticks green (for flower stems) and let them dry. 3. Draw out and cut out 6 flower head shapes (think tulips and classic petal designs) on your coloured card. 4. Glue the buttons to the centre of the petal flowers. 5. Glue the petal flowers to the tops of the lolly sticks. 6. Draw some leaves onto a green sheet of card (or paint a white sheet of card green) and cut them out. Glue the leaves to each flower stem. 7. With a pencil, poke small holes at the top of each egg box cone. Push the flowers into the holes. If they don't stand up on their own, use some glue to keep them in place. 5 Kimberly has so many ideas and activities to keep kids entertained and having fun Credit: SUPPLIED 'Oobleck'-making Cost: A few pence Playtime: 45 mins - 1hr You will need: 2 cups cornflour 1 cup water Simply mix the water and cornflour together in a bowl until it comes together. Inspired by kids' favourite Dr Seuss and his book 'Bartholomew and the Oobleck, this doughy mixture is perfect for sensory-seekers and little scientists, making a fun alternative to slime. Oobleck isn't a liquid or a solid, it's a 'non-Newtonian' fluid and shows how changes in pressure can alter materials' properties. Pick up the oobleck with your hands and form a ball. Then let go and watch it melt into your hands like magic! It will only last a day, so let it dry out overnight and then you can smash it to pieces before you throw it in the bin.

Girl who Love Island's Ben AND Tommy both cheated with on the same night revealed as TV star

THE girl who Love Islanders Ben Holbrough and Tommy Bradley cheated on their partners with is an ITV reality star, say insiders. Last night, the axed stars left Maya Jama open-mouthed in shock as they both admitted snogging the same person at a boozy celeb party. 8 Tommy held his head in his hands and Ben laughed as it was revealed they snogged the same girl at an event - cheating on their Love Island partners who sat behind them during the final last night 8 Maya Jama grilled the lads about their antics post villa Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 8 Lucy and Tommy were strong in the villa - but he got drunk and snogged a reality TV star Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 8 Andrada confronted Ben for cheating during their return to the Love Island villa - but now viewers know Tommy also snogged the same girl Outing the cheaters, Ben's now ex Andrada Pop told the Aftersun audience: 'It was the same girl!' Tommy, who left the villa with Lucy Quinn, head in his hands and admitted he acted "disrespectfully", telling Maya how he "messed up" for going behind Lucy's back for the secret snog. The Sun can reveal that both Ben and Tommy kissed Towie star Dani Imbert that night. 'Dani spent ages chatting to Ben at the event and they did share a snog,' an eyewitness tells The Sun. 'But then later in the night when everyone had hit the free bar, she ended up kissing Tommy too. 'As far as she was concerned they were both single - and so is she!' Dani's rep had no comment when contacted by The Sun. The next day it was revealed that Tommy had split from Lucy, who he left the villa with after a shock dumping. Speaking on Aftersun last night he vowed to stay friends with her, saying xxxx But it sounds like Ben's ex Andrada isn't keen on staying friends with him. Love Island Andrada Pop opens up on villa experience She also turned on him during the penultimate episode when the axed Islanders returned to the villa to send one couple home before the final. The taxi driver, 23, and the nail technician, 27, vowed to give their romance a go on the outside after they were dumped from the villa following a public vote. But just days after they gushed over each other on Love Island's Aftersun, the pair seemed to have already called it a day. Returning to the villa, the gang voted to sent Meg and Dejon home, but before all the votes had been cast, Andrada brought some extra drama as she confronted her ex, Ben. Maya asked what had happened and Andrada revealed: "So we came outside the villa he went exclusive with me, and he was about to meet my family next week. "It took one event where I wasn't there and his head turned." Ben replied: "I wouldn't say it turned." But Andrada was having none of it, spinning her finger in the air and saying: "360 baby. Turned. Just be a man, like if you're going to do it, do it with chest and stand on it." 8 Towie star Dani snogged Ben AND Tommy - but believed they were single Credit: daniimbert/Instagram 8 The Sun's pictures showed Ben and Towie star Dani Imbert in a cosy display at an event last week Credit: The Sun 8 They held hands while at the St Moritz summer party Credit: The Sun

Love Island fans convinced axed star is locked in secret feud with host Maya Jama after noticing ‘giveaway clue'

LOVE Island fans are convinced an axed show star is locked in a feud with host Maya Jama. Viewers of the ITV2 series called out the alleged conduct during Monday's show finale, which saw Toni Laites and Cach Mercer crowned winners. 6 Love Island fans are convinced host Maya Jama is locked in a secret feud with one axed co-star Credit: Eroteme 6 Fans called out Helena Forde's frosty reception to the ITV2 show anchor Credit: Eroteme 6 Helena dished out short answers to Maya's questions Credit: Eroteme The duo scooped the £50K cash prize yet away from the main Love Island final action, eagle-eyed fans were quick to call out a variety of sly moves. These included Harrison rolling his eyes at Toni when she called him out on air. Helena Ford was also spotted "rudely" talking to Angel in the background of Yas's interview. Now fans reckon air hostess Helena is also harbouring a secret feud with host Maya Jama. It came after her short answers and disinterested look as Maya chatted to her in the villa garden before the main result was announced. Walking up to Helena and Alima, perched on bar stools, Maya said: "Alima, Helena, hello my lovelies," to which Helena simply replied: "Hi." Maya later said: "Helena you've been out for a little bit, you've got your phone back, what about your DMs anything exciting going on there?" Looking disinterested, she replied: "I haven't actually looked to be honest. "It's just the old roster resurfacing and I'm thinking 'oh no not you again.'" Maya suggested: "Maybe they're like 'I've seen you on telly I'm gonna fix up?'" to which Helena bluntly said: "They're not." Love Island star caught snubbing finalist and 'ignoring' her during live final - but did you spot it Fans were quick to suspect the pair weren't on the same page and one wrote on X: "Why does it seem like some of the islanders (Meg & Helena) aren't interested in talking to Maya?" A second put: "It's giving rude!!!" A third commented: "Maya talking to Helena is like pulling teeth," as one put: "Even Maya is looking at Helena like girl bye." One then added: "Helena is FUMINGGGGG, INJECT ITTT." MAYA SWIPE Earlier in the series, Maya was praised by fans as she called out Helena and then partner Harry. She was left clearly unimpressed by Helena as she sat sniggering about Harry's antics in Casa Amor. Maya snipped: 'I don't know, I probably wouldn't find that funny if I was in a couple with someone like that.' Those watching at home were impressed by Maya's reaction, with one person commenting: 'Helena looking so dumb that even Maya had to question her intelligence lmao.' MAYA'S BACKING In a toe-curling moment during the live final, host Maya received silence after backing OG stars Shakira and Harry, who was Helena's former show partner. Ahead of the results being announced, Maya told the couple: "You are in the final and there's something that the public have seen that obviously gives love story." But when this had a limited crowd response, she added: "I can hear the whispers in the background." It came after Harry and Shakira recently recoupled prior to the final after a rollercoaster experience in the villa. 6 Fans suggested Helena 'wasn't interested' in talking to Maya Credit: Eroteme 6 Another raged 'it's giving rude' Credit: Eroteme
