My Little Sous-Chef
My Little Sous-Chef is a tandem cookbook for kids and parents to use together. The concept comes as two volumes: one cookbook offers instructions for mum and dad (complete with comprehensive directions and photos) while the second shows your child what to do via illustrations and kid-friendly tasks. The 30 recipes inside include mini burgers, pizza muffins and sausage rolls. Teamwork at its finest.

Wonderlab: The Statoil Gallery
This interactive gallery in the Science Museum is perfect for kids. The new space is designed for seven to 14-year-olds and encourages children to discover the wonder of science. Filled with 50 exhibits, visitors are encouraged to get hands-on: they can race down a giant friction slide, see how clouds form and travel through space under a canopy of stars. The best bit? It’s available to book for birthday parties.
Science Museum, Exhibition Road, South Kensington, London, SW7 2DD; birthday parties from £15 per child

1 Second Everyday
This app is one we’ve tried and tested (and loved) ourselves. It does exactly what it suggests – you take one second’s worth of video footage each day (don’t worry, you can cut longer clips into snippets) and merge them to create a week’s, month’s or year’s-worth of video. Quick and really easy to use, it’s an amazing way to document your kids as they grow up. Think Boyhood on an iPhone-sized scale.
Buy via the AppStore, price $4.99
