Children complaining of boredom this half term? We've got just the thing...

How's your half term going so far? If you're struggling to keep the kids entertained, fear not, because the magnificent Tom Gates is here to help out!

Liz Pichon's brilliant books never fail to entertain, and now Tom's back with a brand new activity book Mega Make and Do (and Stories Too!)

Left to his own devices over half term, Tom comes up with lots of fun things to keep himself entertained - from doodling to games and crafts and stories. And now you can join in!

What's more, Tom's treated us to three of the activities inside the book so you can get a little preview of what to expect and get creative.

Whether you want to make a pop-up card or a flip book made from post-it notes, simply download the PDFs below and get started.

But parents, be warned - there's an activity here to make a foil spider, so you might just want to watch out for it...
