Sunday with Steve Backshall: The kids' capacity to consume pancakes blows my mind'
Briefly

At 5.30am they climb into bed, clambering all over me. I make up a story about them being travelling adventurers until first light. Sunday breakfast? Banana pancakes with yoghurt and fruit.
Every Sunday, 70 to 80 kids run around like crazy people learning the game. It's tremendous fun. Sunday outing? We live on the Thames. If it's a nice day, even in the middle of winter, we'll pack up a big canoe with a lovely picnic of sandwiches and hot chocolate and paddle upstream to a beach on the riverside.
My wife and I are quite militant about TV. Screentime is something we don't do unless we absolutely have to. When we get home, we'll play board games or do other creative projects, mega drawings on rolls of wallpaper or we'll conjure up our own games. We've been playing lots of blind man assault courses recently.
