Quirky Wanda and the Alien
N has his tv favourites, and although the new Wanda and the Alien launched at the end of August, we hadn’t yet spotted it on the schedules. After being sent a book Wanda and the Alien go Camping, and some sample…
Activities
Everything we get up to – activities, learning and play
Project 365: photo a day week 40
Wahey, we’re at week 40 of Project 365 . That ominously suggests there’s not long until Christmas and 2015, but let’s worry about this week first. I’ve only included up to Friday because we’ve got a manic weekend before going…
What not to expect in the morning – toddler creativity
With young children, there’s always that panic when things go quiet. You wonder what they’re up to, because of course it can’t be anything safe and tidy. In the mornings N rarely plays in his own room while I’m in…
The dinosaur that pooped the past – book review
*Ad – gifted includes affiliate links Let’s face it, toilet humour is the way to keep children interested in books. However revolting, it seems that if a book, picture or otherwise, has something that parents might find a little gross,…
Firsts: a picture perfect portrait
N’s not really one for drawing. He’ll have a go at painting, and loves cutting with scissors (usually his drawers at nursery are full of cut up bits of paper), but he’s never really been that fussed about drawing or…
Pop Goes Your Name – children’s personalised cd
I’ve shared in the past how N is a bit of a rock child, in that he loves watching and dancing along to AC/DC. We don’t generally listen to children’s music as I’ve not come across anything to date which…
I Want to be a Witch – Halloween books
Crikey, it feels like I’ve not written about books for so long. We have been reading, well we’ve been reading picture books (I’ve not been reading myself!), and we’ve also had a clear out so we have a tiny amount…
Back to swimming and a star float surprise
It feels like we haven’t been swimming for ages, although because we finished later than usual, it’s only been around 4 sessions over Summer that weren’t on…oh and then we missed the first 2 lessons of term. I did manage…
Italian culture – a new things introduction
During our 4 week New Things challenge with CSMA Club, we’ve visited a new place, played a new game, discovered a new food, and this week we’ve been immersing ourselves in a new culture. Obviously, with work, nursery and everything else…
Project 365 – photo a day week 38
It’s week 38 of Project 365, photo a day and it’s a mish mash again. One week I will try and have a theme going on, but I’m sure I’d forget halfway through! Sunday – we visited Cogges Farm Museum,…
Autumn colours and apple harvest
Despite N still being in shorts in the warm Autumn weather, the colours of the leaves definitely shows that Autumn’s well on its way. On and around the farm, the leaves are turning red, yellow and brown, and a couple…
