Kids bored? Need something to do?
You can mix flour and water together to make a glue. Ideal for cutting and sticking!
Collect all the boxes and cardboard, empty bottles and containers together (Washed and dried containers of course) and see what things you could build. You might need stronger glue than flour and water for fixing plastic together but you can have lots of fun designing things! With a large milk container, jar lids and toothpaste tube tops you could create a ray gun or a camcorder! Paint black for maximum effect.

Make mazes for each other! Then do the mazes. Do them blindfold giving directions to each other. Cover the table so you don’t draw on it with the pen!
Dig out the face paints you got for Halloween and see if you can make some Christmas faces.
Go out and make a snowman! Wait until it’s stopped and then wrap up warm though!
Make up a dance routine to the kids favourite song. Get them to perform it later for the whole family.
Practice singing carols! Kids love singing at the top of their voices!
Find the bundle of last years Christmas cards and cut out circles as gift tags. Or cut out circles and fold as shown here
Make Christmas tree decorations out of Christmas cards cut out and stuck together with a loop of ribbon in between - personalise perhaps with a photo of the kids on one side.
Make a cake! Get a recipe and whisk up a yummy cake! Decorate and eat!

It also suggests you could fill them with sweets for the trick or treaters! This would be pretty fun but remember the kids might just drop the orange wrapper on the floor!
Hang them from your porch, trees or anywhere at the front of your house!
Cost saving - a real pumpkin can cost several pounds - so if you can source the orange material cheaply enough then you will save lots of money. Look in pound shop and charity shops.
You could also use craft paper but this will get wet but would be great for putting inside the front door or under a sheltered porch. Craft paper and halloween decoration ideas:-

Heart Shaped Cake Tin

It doesn't have to be a birthday or special occasion for you to show someone you care by baking them a beautiful heart shaped cake with the aid of this elegant Heart Shaped Bundt Tin. This lovely take on the more traditional ring shaped Bundt cakes will mould your cake into a delightful heart shape.

The heavy cast aluminium tin is specially designed to provide superior baking performance, ensuring the cake will rise and cook evenly, be finely detailed, have a delicious golden crust, and be uniformly browned due to the heat reflective exterior. Of course the Heart Shaped Cake Tin is also non-stick to allow for easy removal of the baked cake, as well as hassle free cleaning.

Giant Cupcake Tin

Cupcakes are fantastic, bite size bits of cakey goodness! Of course, therein lies the only real problem with cupcakes; their rather diminutive size. Thankfully with this gigantic Giant Cupcake Tin any shortage of cake can now be quickly rectified. Just like making normal sized cupcakes you make the mix and bung it in the oven, but of course when you remove this cupcake instead of being able to lose it behind a tea cup you'll be able to see this giant cupcake from the Moon! Ok, maybe that's exaggerating slightly, but at a massive 38cm tall you certainly won't misplace it anywhere.

This is a great gift for all cake lovers, and let's face it, who doesn't like cake!?

There are great opportunities to take photos or learn about the workings of the machines from the fully trained instructors constantly on hand. Diggerland is a day out with a difference - not only can families learn about how these diggers work, they can actually drive them too! This is great fun for the family.

Kids' Half Day Yacht Racing £48.00
Board a modern Sigma 26ft performance yacht which is a really good, manoeuvrable boat. Meet your instructor and fellow crew members where you will get kitted out, then head out to the yachts for a safety briefing. Training includes hoisting sails, helming and practising the most efficient methods of manoeuvring the yacht. Next off you'll be briefed on the rules of the race which takes place on a floating 'race track'. And it's all hands on deck for that - you'll participate fully in crewing the yacht during the race, putting into action everything that you've learned so far. Afterwards return to the clubhouse for race results and signing off the logbooks (for those who have been bitten by the bug and want to take their sailing further).

Kids' Scuba Diving for Two £76.00
Imagine what it's like to be able to breathe underwater, and to be completely weightless. With this experience you'll learn all about the amazing world of scuba diving, and take your first steps (or splashes!) towards becoming a scuba diver. Your expert teacher will tell you all about safety in the water and how to get mobile underwater, and then you'll be kitted out in proper scuba gear. Once you're in the swimming pool you'll have a chance to get used to all the equipment and learn how to breathe underwater and achieve weightlessness - it's brilliant fun. There will be an instructor around the whole time to help you and make sure you stay safe. At the end of the session you'll even take home a little surprise gift.

'Les Miserables' Kids' Club and Tickets for Adult and Child £110.00
Try out acting and learn about the theatre at one of the most successful shows in the world. In advance you'll be sent a synopsis of the show on CD (read by Sir Ian McKellen) so that you can become familiar with the story. The big day starts with a fantastic kids' workshop including a backstage tour of the theatre and a drama workshop based on improvisational games to bring out your inner star. The workshop ends with a re-enactment of a scene from the show, using real costumes and props, plus a chance to quiz a real member of the Les Mis cast and you'll receive a certificate. The building has to be emptied in preparation for the matinee, so why not go out to lunch and return in the afternoon to watch a performance of the hit musical.

Kids' Kayaking £48.00
Try out one of the fastest growing water sports and get to grips with paddling a kayak in a group environment. During the session, you can expect to learn the basics of paddle and boat control as well as general river safety, with instruction taking place in a safe boating area two to three feet deep. Once the basics are mastered, head out into calm sections of the river under the supervision of qualified instructors. Take a trip through the beautiful Jephson Gardens and local nature reserve to explore and participate in games and challenges to put your new skills to the test. Kayaks were originally developed by indigenous people of Arctic regions, who used the boats to hunt on inland lakes, rivers and coastal waters. The first kayaks consisted of stitched animal skins such as seal stretched over a wooden frame. Don't worry, today they are a little more high tech, made from rotomoulded plastic, wood, fabric over wooden or aluminum frame, fiberglass, Kevlar or carbon fibre.

As if you were driving on real track, this experience will push your driving skills to the very limit; from the moment you exit the pit lane.

Your experience begins with a welcome and introduction to the Western Paint horses, Boston, Gypsy and friends. You'll meet your own trusty steed, saddle up and head off for a one hour riding lesson in the Western Riding Arena - western style.

Your time has come - get behind the wheel and drive the breathtaking Lamborghini Gallardo. Named after a ferocious breed of fighting bull and with a top speed of 192mph, this incredible car completely lives up to its reputation for raw power. Take home a certificate as a memento of this fantastic day.

Kids' Rally Driving £97.00
Whether or not you've driven a car before, this is your chance to get the hang of driving - all cars are designed with safety in mind to give you the perfect balance of power and control. You'll start with a briefing about the car, when you'll be taught about different clutch control, steering and braking techniques. Then you can take the vehicle out with an expert instructor calling the corners as you power your way around, perfecting those sideway slides you've seen on TV. You don't need any driving experience - but a love of speed definitely helps! Finish with a certificate presentation.

Kids' Cowboy Adventure for Two £88.00
Transport yourself back to the days of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with this wild west adventure for the cowboy or cowgirl in you. Your experience begins with a welcome and introduction to the Western Paint horses, Boston, Gypsy and friends. You'll meet your own trusty steed, saddle up and head off for a one hour riding lesson in the Western Riding Arena - western style. It's easier to learn and feels more secure than riding English-style, so it's great even for beginners. Next you'll be shown how to try your luck at lassoing the cow-horns, then finally it's time for a well-earned feast of ranch burger and beans. You'll also get certificates to take home to show everyone that you're official Junior Cowboys.
