Everything about activities – playing and learning, new and old activities
I’ve always tried to instill a love of books in N and it seems to be working so far. He’ll choose books to look at on his own, insists on certain books at bedtime, and loves it when he finds…
Enjoying the Gruffalo’s Child Trail and the outdoor musical play things at Wendover Woods with children
It’s month 7 of my Music Exploration with children linky, so hopefully you’re getting inspired on getting your children introduced to music early on. The linky’s open from 15th (ok, so I’m a day late this month) and closes at…
It feels like we’re on a real roll at the moment with N’s swimming. He’s really enjoying it, and even though there’s certain things he still moans about doing, he will eventually give them a go…if it is only the…
