The 20-Minute Fresh-Air Fix Set a timer and head outside. Scooters. A quick walk. A kickabout. A loop round the block. It doesn’t have to be epic to boost everyone’s mood (and help with bedtime too). Picnic-Style Tea You don’t need a full park set-up. Throw a blanket in the garden (or even the living room floor with the doors open), serve up whatever you were already having for tea, and suddenly it feels different. Novelty = happy kids! Spring Spotters Challenge the kids to find: Blossom trees, a bee, a nest, Daffodils, a ladybird. Let them lead. You’ll be surprised how long this keeps them entertained. Pavement Picasso A box of chalk can buy you 30–40 minutes of creative play. Hopscotch. Obstacle courses. Road maps for toy cars. Free, creative, and washed away by the next rain shower. 18 raring2go.co.uk Screen Time Swaps for Lighter Evenings Simple, realistic ideas for when the days get longer… Raring2go! On 29 March, the clocks go forward by one hour and we move into British Summer Time (BST).

As the evenings stretch out, it’s the perfect opportunity to gently shift away from screens and enjoy some time together outdoors. It doesn’t have to mean big plans, just small swaps that feel easy and enjoyable.
