While the schools are closed, more and more people are beginning to look at keeping both theirs and their children’s minds working. So we thought we’d put a few links on a page on the site for those of you who want to keep the kids minds and bodies active.
These have been sent to us from a variety of people who follow us on social media – if you have any more please feel free to send them over to @kevpender on Twitter and we can update this page.
