How to make children’s washer necklaces (or medals)
I spotted these really simple fun necklaces over at We Made That, and decided that we’d have a go at making our own versions. Ok so N’s a boy, but he’s quite happy making these kind of things, and you…
Expanding toddler musical tastes
I’ve referred many times before to N’s ‘interesting’ taste obsession with AC/DC. I totally blame his father as I wouldn’t class myself a fan of rock music, although I have grown partial to a few of their songs now I’ve heard and…
How to Catch a Star 10th Anniversary – activities and giveaway
I initially picked up a second hand copy of How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers from a nearly new sale and it’s one of those lovely books that are so suitable for bedtime stories. I hadn’t realised it…

I’m a big fan of Pinterest, although it takes me a while to remember to refer back to items I’ve pinned when I’m trying to think of interesting things to try out or make. Needless to say, I also have…
Creative and pretend play
Until recently, N’s not really done anything other than drive his tractors round, or baking and cooking with his toy food and microwave (or my oven). But in the last week, I’ve really seen his play become more creative. He’s…
Tractor Ted obsession
I’m a little concerned with N’s obsession with Tractor Ted. It seems harmless enough…educational dvds, learning about farming and therefore what his family are involved in. But he wants to watch a dvd every day without fail. The other day…
Chair play
N’s always been a bit of a fidgetter (aren’t all toddlers?), but he’s started playing with his (my old) wooden chair. He tips it over, then stands in it, then tries to sit on the floor in it, on the…
