Interplay Pirate Craft Party

As you might know, we live in London. It’s a great city to visit for a holiday or to live in, with loads to do for children and families including lots for free. I have featured and written a couple of posts recently about things to do in London and today I have a guest […]
It’s already the 4th week of our Tuesday Tutorials Pintorials Pin Party! That time has flown by! We are loving seeing what projects you have all been busy with each week. It’s great to see the variety of crafts, activities, recipes and more, that everyone has been sharing. Your hosts on Pinterest: Anna (me!) : […]
Every so often, I like to show you all some of the most interesting new food products we have been trying out lately. It’s been a while since I’ve posted any of these, so I have plenty to share! First up: Plum – Mighty 4
I have 7 pictures to share this Sunday, so perhaps I could have actually committed to 365 (although they are not all from different days!) As you will see from one my photos, I have a very exciting new camera! It arrived in the middle of the week, but with half term and family stuff […]
Tractor Ted is a cartoon green tractor who’s the star of many books and DVDs. This is a new character for my boys, which they have just recently been introduced to. We are currently enjoying some of the books and Dvds all about life on the farm and in the countryside. Look out for Tractor […]

I recently shared a post with reviews of over 10 resources to help children with their reading. They are primarily paid services or products, and I do recommend all the products included in that post. I believe it’s definitely worth investing in educational products and services, as anything towards the children’s education and development is […]
I was quite surprised to hear recently that 1 in 10 burns among children are caused by hair straighteners. This is such a large amount! Straighteners and other heated hair appliances are such a common part of many people’s daily routine nowadays that the amount of burns caused by these has actually doubled in recent […]
I have been thinking about rearranging the bedrooms for the boys for a while. Mr Z and Mr T currently share and Mr R is on his own, but we have decided now to swap them around and give Mr Z his own room. I have all the paint and wall designs planned out for […]
I’ve always enjoyed doing fun educational activities with my little ones at home, to help them develop their skills and just as a nice way to spend some calm and quiet quality time together. My Little Learner has a great range of products that make it easy to spend a few minutes doing this with […]
Board games are meant to provide fun and creativity during playtime, so why not create your own board game. They are one of the great ways to develop social skills in early life. Boards are quite expensive, so it will be cheaper to create one using recycled materials. When designing the board, it is good […]
Jumping, climbing and running are all important ways for kids to engage in physical play, which is important for developing gross motors skills and promoting other developmental milestones. However, an equally important means for development is through imaginative play. Imaginative play is essential for children’s social, emotional and cognitive development. This type of play includes […]
Wooden railway is an absolute classic toy – popular in most homes and nurseries. It was a huge hit with my boys particularly when they were younger, and now that N is moving out of the baby stage into the toddler years, we’ve started to reintroduce it again. Wooden railway is really open ended and […]
We all know that spending time outside is good for our children. So, many parents try to take their kids to the park or for a bike ride. The problem is there is not always enough time available to do this as much as you would like. So, you have to do what you can […]
When you think of a classroom, what springs to mind? Most likely it is a room, indoors, with desks and chairs facing a whiteboard on the wall. It’s important to remember, however, that this isn’t the only environment that a child can learn in and, as research has shown, it may not be the most […]
This summer, Little Tikes are celebrating all of the parents and families who encourage kids to get outdoors into the garden or great outdoors, and in a time where indoor screen based activities can be very tempting, or safety concerns can keep kids inside, they’ve brought out some great new ranges to make outdoor play […]
