BBC Good Food provides activities with just a few kitchen cupboard ingredients, you can keep little ones busy for hours with our fun and easy craft projects. You’ll often save money on the shop-bought versions while encouraging plenty of creative play. Perfect for indoors, most of these activities take less than 30 minutes before the kids can get stuck in. They can be enjoyably messy, though, so be sure to cover your kitchen table in newspaper before you start. 

Jamie Oliver has something to keep little hands busy, cooking with kids is a great family activity. He has a list of recipes that cover breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, and they’re all perfect for small sous-chefs (with a bit of help, of course).
