The summer holidays are here, but for most of us, that doesn’t mean work stops.
Despite booking multiple days off and roping in anyone I can help with childcare, it is inevitable that, at various points over the next six weeks, the kids will be cooped up in my office with me while I try to work.
As someone who likes to plan, I’ve already invested in several items to help keep my little ones happy and occupied whilst I keep serving up insightful content on small business tech.
I’m keen to provide them with retro-style pastimes and give them some options that get them creative and active, without creating too much noise. That said, I am already eyeing up a £300+ gaming console to get myself some quiet time – and it’s only week two (it’s all about balance, right?)
Below you’ll find the list of products I’m using, or planning to use, to survive the summer holidays. Half are under £20, with the rest requiring a bit more of an investment.
Of course, there is still a chance that by week six, you’ll find me in the playpen playing Pokémon whilst my kids run riot.
