## Prompt

```text
Give me screen-free activity ideas for my kids at home.

**Kids and ages:** [DETAILS]
**Situation:** [rainy day / sick day (low energy) / school break / I'm working from home and need them busy]
**How long I need to fill:** [e.g. "a whole afternoon", "a week"]
**Supplies we have:** [e.g. "paper, tape, cardboard boxes, Lego, basic baking things"]
**Space:** [small apartment / house / yard]
**Interests:** [DETAILS]
**How much I can be involved:** [hands-on / setup only / need them independent]

Give me:
1. 15-20 activities grouped by: active, creative, calm/quiet, learning-in-disguise, and helping around the house.
2. For each: name, ages it suits, setup time, mess level (low/med/high), supplies, and 2-3 lines on how to do it.
3. Mark which ones kids can do on their own and which mix ages well for siblings.
4. A sample day schedule that alternates active and calm activities, with snack and rest breaks.
5. Two "emergency" activities that need zero prep for when I need 20 minutes of peace.

Flag any safety needs (scissors, ovens, small parts for under-3s, climbing furniture) and keep supplies cheap or free.
