Five minute, easy, fun games for busy parents to do with little kids.

"I love Five Minute Mum. She's managed to come up with a huge array of activities for kids that are fun and educational yet don't require an Art degree or Diploma in Patience to execute. Her blog makes these kinds of games accessible to everyone and for that, I am grateful!" Sarah Turner, aka Unmumsy Mum


Daisy Upton has two little kids. She loves them - but they drive her mad. To stop the endless 'what's next, mum?' when they were really tiny, she started to come up with quick, easy games using stuff from around the house. And @FiveMinuteMum was born.

This book is a collection of over 150 fun games that take five minutes to set up and, even more crucially five minutes to tidy up again: a recipe book for guilt-free parenting. From pasta posting to alphabet knock down, all of the ideas draw on Daisy's time as a teaching assistant to sneak some learning into the fun, and help those who spend time with little kids feel like the daunting is doable!

GIVE ME FIVE is the perfect companion for anyone who wants five minutes peace.
