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…

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…
Fun dvd for preschoolers – Topsy and Tim’s Christmas Eve
Some of you may remember Topsy and Tim from your childhood. I remember their names but not much more detail so I think it may have been more my brother’s era than mine. N did have a couple of the…
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 back in time with Legends inflatable dinosaurs from Prezzybox
* Ad – gifted I love really thinking about what I can buy friends and family for birthday and Christmas presents. Some of you may have seen me asking around recently for gift ideas for my best friend (she’s even…
Spot a Lot Animals jigsaw and book from Parragon Books

Learn to write with Appealing Rabbit alphabet cards
I’m all for trying to get N interested in writing and learning his letters but crikey it’s a hard slog. He loves reading books with me, and scrawling ‘shopping lists’ but actually sitting down, even when playing games it’s an…
Walking cool and comfy with Bridgedale socks
Socks. They seem to take up a lot of our conversations in our house (sounds exciting doesn’t it?!). I think most families have issues – well, at least the person who does the washing does. Single socks galore, although I…
Balancing act with a pogo stick for kids
There’s nothing like getting outside on the farm, and with all the fields around and a large garden we’re lucky enough just to walk out of the house and be somewhere that children can play in a safe environment (once…
