Toddler treasure hunt – fundraising idea
I prepared a scavenger hunt for N’s party back in May which we didn’t use, but obviously have treasure hunts and the like on my mind, as when N’s nursery school were looking for fund raising ideas, I put a…

Star constellation crafts – make star tube viewers
Get children learning about the moon and stars through crafts with this star constellation activity. Like so many other small children, N loved the moon when he was younger. He liked to look out for it going down in the…
Musical Exploration – month 3
Welcome to the month of my Musical Exploration with Children linky. A few people mentioned they’d missed the link last month. I try to get the linky live on the 15th of each month, and it’s open until the end of…
Forever blowing bubbles
I’ve loved seeing all the bubble photos and play over the last few weeks, and fancied getting the bubbles out at home. Obviously if your toddler goes to any birthday party, then you’re bound to have a bottle of bubbles…
Haba’s Memo in the Zoo – a classic memory game

Mud kitchens
Nursery have a new feature…a mud kitchen. I used to think N was bad with sand, but at least that was dust-able off (and even when he mixed it with water, it wasn’t too awful on the washing front). But…
Birthday party fun
So far, given he’s only 2, we’ve not got into the perpetual cycle of birthday party after birthday party. Apart from informal ones which are just piling into soft play or general play sessions, he’s been to his 4 year…
Cloud dough
Well I think it’s called that if I can remember through my very busy mind at the moment. Have been manic with work, and out and about a lot (plus have a lovely new phone) so just haven’t had time…
