Description

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.

Author Biography

Daisy Upton's first book Five Minute Mum- Give Me Five is a bestseller. She is a Londoner who now lives in Cheshire with her husband and two children. After years of working in sports broadcasting she quit her job to become a Teaching Assistant, which her colleagues at the time found baffling! When her two children turned 3 and 1 she found her love of coming up with silly games to make learning more fun in the classroom finally came into its own at home, and she began blogging about what she was up to. It turned out quite a few other people wanted to play these games too. Daisy now has a large social media and blog following who share with her on a daily basis how they too are playing her games. Daisy likes to celebrate this fact by eating large quantities of chocolate oranges and creme eggs (season dependant), and dancing in the kitchen.
