Restaurant Busy Kit

Restaurant Busy Kit for Kids

30 Screen-Free Activities | Ages 4-8 | Print & Go

The food is taking forever, the crayons rolled under the table, and someone is about to slide off their chair. Sound familiar? This kit turns "how long until the food comes?" into mazes, bingo, I-spy and menu maths. Print a few pages before you head out, clip them to a board, slip some pencils into your bag — and enjoy your meal while it's still hot.

No screens, no batteries, no mess. Just one happy, busy kid at the table.

What's Inside (30 Activity Pages)

• 5 mazes that grow with your child — from a friendly 8x8 to a giant 14x14, each starring a kawaii Australian animal (quokka, koala, penguin, wombat, kangaroo)
• 4 word searches — food words, cafe words, Aussie animals and desserts. Words hide across, down and diagonally, never backwards (perfect for new readers)
• 4 I-spy find-and-count pages — search the picture grid, then answer "how many did you find?"
• 1 count-the-row page — count each row of pictures and write how many
• 3 restaurant bingo cards — spot a waiter, a menu, someone laughing, a red shirt... four in a row wins!
• 2 game-board pages — a tic-tac-toe tournament (4 boards) and dots-and-boxes (3 boards), with one-line how-to-play tips
• 3 menu maths pages — add up orders from Quokka's Cafe and work out the change (all sums within 20)
• 3 drawing prompts — colour-by-number secret picture, Design Your Dream Pizza, and Draw What You'll Order
• 2 surprise dot-to-dots
• 2 matching pages — perfect food pairs, and feed the hungry Aussie animals
• 1 "While We Wait" conversation page — 8 would-you-rather questions that need no pencil at all
• PLUS a grown-ups tips page and a full Answer Corner (every maze path and hidden word shown)

Who Is This for?

• Parents who want a peaceful restaurant dinner (that's all of us)
• Cafes, road trips, waiting rooms, flights and grandma's house
• Ages 4-8. Younger kids love the small mazes, I-spy, colouring and dot-to-dots; older kids race through the word searches, menu maths, bingo and the giant mazes.
