Interplay's Boredom Buster Campaign Shares Fun Downloads

— May 23, 2020 — Life-Stages
To keep families entertained during lockdown, Interplay UK launched the Boredom Buster Campaign with family-friendly downloads in the form of free games, arts and crafts activities, nature kits and play sets. The campaign includes printable versions of the best-selling 5 Second Rule Junior and new releases like Colour & Play Games and My Fairy Garden, plus coloring pages, recipes and insect-finding guides.

At a time when families may be spending more time than usual cooped up together, kids of all ages are looking for fun things to keep them occupied. This campaign suggests not only entertaining activities that encourage creativity and imagination but also learning, as kids are encouraged to discover the wonders of nature and more in ways that are both safe and stimulating.
