Sick Day Activities for Kids
When children are poorly, they need activities that are gentle, calm and don’t require much energy. Something that keeps them quietly occupied without overstimulating them — and ideally something that feels like a treat rather than a chore.
Quacky & Rex sick day activities are perfect for poorly days. Calm colouring, gentle stories and quiet puzzles that children can do from the sofa or bed.

- Simple dot-to-dot — just enough focus to keep little minds occupied
- Online digital colouring — on a tablet in bed, no printing needed
