Overview
Screens down, imaginations up! 101 Things for Kids to do Screen-Free is a bumper paperback bursting with creative, funny and occasionally silly activities that need nothing more than everyday household bits and a sense of adventure. From bestselling activity author Dawn Isaac, this collection of 101 ideas fills rainy afternoons, school holidays and after-school hours with genuine, hands-on fun that keeps tablets, phones and TVs firmly switched off.

About the Book
Packed across 224 pages, this book gathers a huge variety of games, crafts and challenges that prove screen-free time doesn't have to mean boring time. Children can try building a junk-modelled mini golf course, mastering hands-free eating, painting with squirt guns, or whipping up a microwave mug cake in minutes. There are wacky games too, from outdoor noughts and crosses to thumb wrestling tournaments, alongside simple makes like no-sew sock creatures and homemade stress balls. Every activity is genuinely fun, quick to set up and completely free from batteries or Wi-Fi. The tone is light-hearted and encouraging, aimed at getting children moving, creating and laughing together rather than staring at a screen. Ideas range from quiet solo crafts to noisy group games, making the book flexible for only children, siblings or a whole party of friends. Parents will appreciate that most activities use things already lying around the house or garden, keeping costs low and prep short. Whether it's a wet Sunday, the summer holidays, or simply a screen-time detox that's overdue, this book offers a ready-made toolkit that turns "I'm bored" into "let's do this instead," one page at a time.

• Uses everyday household items - no special equipment needed
• Great for solo play, siblings, playdates or party entertainment
