    How about taking them to the park? Its free, swimming at the baths might be free (not sure about that). going to museums is also free.

    Elsewhere on the board you can find vouchers for 2 for 1 offers on pizzas etc.

    Kids dont mind about whether or not something is free - they care about spending time with their parents.

    Have u tried the library? they sometimes do different things for children, also family centres are great they are also free, u can find your local one by looking at direct.gov.org.
    Also your social worker/health visitor might have some more local information.

    Good luck

    How about books from the library? Downloading and printing some colouring in pages from the internet, then all you need to do is buy some cheap crayons. Check google, there will be loads of ideas on there, maybe also ask on your local freecycle group?

    Hi Im also a foster carer and I know how hard it can be to keep children entertained. Lots of sites offer free down loads of colouring pics etc

    This time of year I take all the kids on an easter egg treasure hunt, me and my hubs hide lots of eggs around the place the kids love this..
