As the UK continues to stay in lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic, we thought we'd put together a list of some fun indoor activities that all families can enjoy together.
Get creative and make a colourful rainbow!
The nation has come together during the lockdown with creating various rainbows and displaying them in their living room windows for other families to enjoy as they pass by different homes during their daily walk.
This is a fun activity the whole family can enjoy! So come on mums and dads, put your creative minds together and get making a rainbow too!
Bake a cake together!
