It’s time to make this a summer they’ll never forget with these 5 easy tips for keeping kids entertained with merch. 

1. Colouring

Kids love colouring. The perfect quiet-time activity for waiting rooms or restaurants. And it’s great for all ages (even adults have got in on the colouring craze!). Colouring has been proven to promote mindfulness and relieve stress, making it an excellent activity for those tiny fidgety fingers. 

Check out our: 

• Carrydraw non-woven kids' bag with pens: The perfect activity bag to keep kids entertained. This non-woven drawstring bag comes with 5 markers and a design for your little ones to colour in.

• A5 Children’s colouring book: What would you colour first? The hedgehog? Or maybe even the snail? We love this A5 children’s colouring book with sixteen fabulous designs.

2. Classic playground games 

Share the nostalgia with kids this summer and impart some classic playground wisdom with these amazing games. Plus, it’s a great way for kids to burn off their energy whilst learning team skills and exercising - perfect for tiring them out for bedtime! And, what better way to help them get some all-important Vitamin D?

3. Board games

4. Beach days 

We all love a good beach day. Lounging in the sun. Sand between our toes. The screaming of a child who’s already bored… Make sure your clients get the most out of their beach days with some prepped fun perfect for all the family. Kids will love playing catch with Grandpa, or flying kites with Mum; you’ll be helping them to make those core summer memories that’ll last a lifetime, with your brand at the centre.

5. Arts & crafts 

Kids thrive when their imagination is left to run wild, and what better (and safe) way to do that over summer than giving them the opportunity to go crazy with some arts & crafts? Not only will it keep kids entertained for hours, but it’ll help them to develop fine motor skills, encourage critical thinking and support self-esteem.
