If the kids have worked hard at distance learning, they deserve to play hard to, it’s only fair.
These 14 UAE websites are able to deliver everything from toys and playdough to arts and crafts straight to your door.
A spot of online shopping may be just the incentive they need to get their maths, science and English finished.
Amazon
There isn’t much you can’t get on Amazon. If the kids want to read there is a huge selection of age appropriate books (and if they want to listen, you can download audiobooks here too), or if they prefer to get stuck into some masterbuilding then they can pick from an extensive range of LEGO sets. There are outdoor and indoor toys, plus loads of arts and crafts supplies as well.
