Brrrrr.... it's getting cold!

In these cold winter days and evenings, what could be more cosy than snuggling up in the warmth with some good books and a fair few fun activities to do with your little ones!

During these colder months, we are here to indulge you and your families with ideas, so wrap up warm and welcome these wintery wonders!

'Tis the season to be jolly, tra, la, la, la, la... Christmas comes to cheer us all during these dark, cold winter months. It is a time when families spend time together at home, we decorate trees in our homes, make delicious food, sip on hot, warming drinks and show appreciation for our friends and loved ones with the sharing of gifts. With more time on our hands than usual, it's a chance for us to spend quality time with each other.

Here, we bring you lots of suggestions on how to keep your children entertained over the festive period.

Nothing beats the joy of getting lost in a good book. So this year, the National Literacy Trust is delighted to be partnering with Good Housekeeping to help young readers discover books that they will love.
