Keeping kids occupied during the meal - Wedding Forum

I have bought a bargain today in my quest to find stuff to occupy the kids during the wedding meal.

Decathlon have a sale on

and i got 3 mini sports bags for kids to fill with bits and pieces to keep them busy. They were only £2.60 each

although i can see me spending a fair bit filling them.

I bought some bags of sweets but Rob has started eating them all!
The ideas that Ive had are colouring books, bubbles, colouring crayons/pencils, small puzzles, small lego sets etc. The puzzles were going to be things that they could do themselves so they didnt have to have an adult to help them all the time.
Try the Early learning centre and Toys r us.

I also bought some bags of bits for the kids, bought things from partybox - they are good for little 50p or £1 games that will occupy them and pound shops are good for things like colouring books and little toys, sweets etc.

The kids were very happy and quiet during the speeches, it seems to work well.
