Brought to you by Penguin.

Daisy Upton has two little kids. She loves them - but they drive her mad.

So, to try and keep her sanity she started to come up with quick, easy games using stuff from around the house. And @FiveMinuteMum was born.

In her first book, she has collected 150+ games that take 5 minutes to set up & 5 minutes to tidy up.

From pasta posting to alphabet knock down, it's a recipe book for guilt free parenting!

And as Daisy was a teaching assistant, your little ones will be learning while they play! What could be better?

GIVE ME FIVE is the perfect companion for anyone who wants five minutes peace.

"I love Five Minute Mum. She's managed to come up with a huge array of activities for kids that are fun and educational yet don't require an Art degree or Diploma in Patience to execute."Sarah Turner, aka Unmumsy Mum

Once upon a time, Daisy Upton was a Teaching Assistant working in schools, where she drank hot cups of tea. But when she had her own children, she found she never quite managed to drink a brew while it was still remotely warm. So she started putting her TA skills to good use and coming up with five-minute games, not only to support her children's learning, but also to buy her time for that cuppa. She shared those games online and it turned out quite a few other people wanted to join in too. Daisy now has a large social media following, a website and four books, including a bestseller. Daisy likes to celebrate this fact by eating large quantities of chocolate oranges and creme eggs (season dependant), and dancing in the kitchen.
