Play tunnel fun
As I’ve mentioned before I love NCT nearly new sales for cheap bargains, whether they be toys, books, baby equipment or clothes. One of my bargains some time last year was a play tunnel. Of course the weather last year…
Play & Learn
Everything about activities – playing and learning, new and old activities
Spinning around
Some of the things N does really do amuse me. This morning he had insisted he was dressed while standing in front of the mirror on his wardrobe (vain, my son!). Then while I was trying to sort his jumper…
Remembering retro toys
One of the great things about having children is getting to reminisce about all the old retro toys we used to have way back when we were kids. You tend to want to have your children experience similar toys especially…
Sticker Fun
Kids love stickers. Don’t they? I think N does but not to the extent some other children appear to. He has a few sticker books and likes occasionally spending time sticking the stickers onto blank pages. We’ve not reached the…
Introduction to Gardening
I hate gardening. Not quite true as there’s nothing to actually hate because I don’t do it. Our garden is still the paddock it was when the house was built. Great for a big area of grass to play on,…
Tractor toys
As previously said, we’re big fans of tractors in this house. Well maybe not myself, but definitely N and the OH. Obvious really given the OH’s a farmer, and being a boy who loves wheels, there’s not much chance of…
Dressing up: hats & mirrors
We don’t have a dressing up box, and so far N’s not really been interested in wearing other items of clothing. Ok, so he likes putting on adult shoes that are lying around, but if we go to soft play…
Rainy day
I expect there are lots of people in the UK waterlogged at the moment. Thankfully where we are (at the top of a hill, but we do suffer from field run off), although the roads got bad due to the…
Stereotypical toys and natural play
Toddler play always intrigues me. N’s quite happy playing on his own; sometimes he’ll drag me over to play with something as well, or just sit and watch him, but on the whole he’s happy to choose what he wants…
Building Dens for toddlers
I think I need a bit of practice at making dens. I remember going to family friends and building great dens, but N’s not seemed fussed about them so far. He has started wanting to sit on the sofa and…
Messy Play
Last week was a holiday week. Well, Monday to Thursday was a holiday week. It’s nearing the end of the holiday year and again as the OH refuses to go away on holiday, I’ve got plenty of time still to…
