Project 365 2015 week 44
This time it’s week 44 of Project 365 and we’re romping towards the finish line. This week’s been half term so I’ve had a few days off work to spend with N before he went into holiday club for a…
Activities
Everything we get up to – activities, learning and play
Halloween games for family nights in
I’m trying to build up a stash of family games for N. Games are something we used to play a lot of as children, and although he’s an only child, he’s got plenty of cousins to enable him to get…
Button craft activities for children
We don’t do much crafting in our house. I used to make greeting cards and jewellery to sell, but then had no time, and now blogging has taken over…note to self, really must sell all the beads I still have…
Firing children’s imagination with wooden toys from George Home
I’ve always been partial to wooden toys. They tend to be more classic, reminders of back to my youth, and last longer than plastic toys. Right from N being a baby, we’ve tended towards wood for toys, including his first…
Project 365 2015 week 42 and 43
We had a bit of a manic week last week, so I’ve got a double week of Project 365 this time. A real mix of photos, and some fun with my best friend and her son who came to visit….

I mentioned a few weeks ago that friends had dragged me along to their zumba classes. Much as I loved the class, when I spotted last week that there was a new modern jive class starting up only 15 minutes…
Pumpkins Pumpkins Everywhere – getting ready for Halloween
Apart from books from school, we’ve not had many new books for N recently. I think he’s generally really happy with repeating the rest of the books he has already. But we were sent Pumpkins Pumpkins Everywhere as our next…
Going to Africa
I’m not sure N quite has a grasp on places. Usually I’m amazed by some of the places he comes out with, and I wonder where he’s heard about them. I keep trying to remind him of where we live…
A Cushion Concert introduction to the trombone
We’ve finally made it to another Cushion Concert in Oxford, informal concerts introducing children to instruments. This one was the Trombone
Project 365 2015 week 41
Into week 41 and it’s ended up with a few days of gorgeous warm weather. No coats needed, and sunny days. There’s been a lot of conker readiness investigation, and our tree has pretty much dropped all of its conkers…
