IF you are struggling to think of ways to keep your little ones entertained during the summer holidays, fear not, you’ve come to the right place.
Cleanfluencer and mum-of-two Mrs Hinch today took to social media to share her super simple and cheap activity to keep kids busy without making a mess - so if you’re struggling for ideas, you’ll need to listen up.
And don’t worry, you won’t need to go out and buy loads of fancy stuff - as you probably already have part of the answer in your garden.
Posting on her Instagram stories, 33-year-old Sophie Hinchliffe explained: “It’s actually a really nice morning here."
Her alpacas - Roy, Raymond and Rodney - were eager to get involved, as Sophie confirmed: "These are not for you boys."
She then noted: “I’ve put some large stones, pens and crayons in here [tray] for the boys, so they can draw on them, decorate them, do what they like with them.

“They like to paint stones so I thought - I can’t be getting the paints out this morning, so I’ll try the pens.
“So yeah, we’ll see how that goes.
"Little outside activity this morning.”
In the next story frame, Sophie shared a snap of her two boys, Ronnie and Lennie, decorating their stones with colouring pens, in the grounds of her country home - dubbed the Hinch Farm.

She added: “Things like this, so simple, but the boys really enjoy it.
“Happy Friday everyone.”
Sophie’s fun, cheap garden activity comes shortly after she opened up about her son Ronnie’s rare disease.
The three-year-old was hospitalised for 10 days back in June and was then diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, a rare, but in some cases fatal disease.
The family dealt with the “real life nightmare” but thankfully, Mrs Hinch later confirmed that she received “the most amazing results from Ronnie’s most recent heart scan”, as she explained that the results were “all clear.”
Mrs Hinch shared: “The Kawasaki disease was caught and treated quick enough meaning Ron’s heart has NOT been affected by the disease.
“He will continue to be monitored for a while but the relief is a feeling I can’t even describe right now.”
The social media star and cleaning whizz has an empire of 4.7 million Instagram followers and has totted up brand deals with big cleaning names like Lenor, Flash and Zoflora.
