Half Term At Home: A How-To Guide
While we look forward to a well-deserved break and some valuable family time this October, coming up with activities to keep everyone occupied can be tough. Here to offer a helping hand, Habitat's buying managers Rachael Fell and Anna Cross share their top tips and products for keeping boredom at bay this half term.
The Habitat Kids collection is available online now and in selected Argos and Sainsbury's stores.

"Making an indoor den is the ultimate rainy day activity and creates an inviting destination for reading and games for hours on end. A canvas teepee is an easy starting point, and can be filled with cushions, blankets and beloved toys. Woodland or safari themed designs are best, connecting them to the outdoors when it's too wet to be outside."
Anna Cross, Home Living Buying Manager
“For those who benefit from independent learning, creating an engaging study area for quiet contemplation is key. Canopies can be draped over desks or reading nooks, bringing an element of excitement and wonder to the private space."
Rachael Fell, Furniture Buying Manager
"Treasure hunts are a great way to raise a smile, keeping the kids entertained and active. Give the room an immersive jungle theme with an added educational spin: hide rewards by animal-shaped accessories and lead them there with clues that teach them about the animal kingdom."
Anna Cross, Home Living Buying Manager
“Set up a craft table complete with art supplies to inspire budding artists. Kids will love getting messy with paints and glitter, and parents can get involved too. When you’re finished with your creations, place in photo frames to add a personal touch around the home.”
Rachael Fell, Furniture Buying Manager
“After a year and a half mostly spent indoors, why not let the little ones transform their bedrooms and put a personal stamp on their spaces. Untreated, pine wood furniture can be drawn on and decorated, letting kids express their personality. Give it a simple lick of paint when the next holiday arrives to create a new blank canvas.”
