SINCE McDonald's shut it's doors a few weeks ago, parents have been recreating the ultimate fakeaway meals so their little ones can indulge in their favourite McDonald's combo.

But rather than spending time designing you're own authentic-looking packaging, you can now download a Happy Meal design template and it's completely free to use.

You can download the template in an easy PDF format, and print it from home.

After cutting around the template, simply fold where instructed and you'll have yourself an exact replica of the Happy Meal box.

The Happy Meal cut-outs are a part of McDonald's new family entertainment hub which offers a wide range of fun activities for the kids to enjoy in lockdown, while parents can get some much needed downtime.

The hub has available various board games, Happy Reader eBooks, and interactive games, along with fun football challenges to help keep kids active.

But the football challenge isn't just any old challenge.
