My little girl is learning all about what colours you need to mix to make different colours at the moment, so I thought I would set up a fun painting activity to help her learn.
This activity for kids is super simple and lots of fun for little ones. I got these lovely flower paint pallets , which are perfect as you can put lots of different colours around the...
Losing a baby at any stage of pregnancy is a horribly traumatic experience. Losing a baby during pregnancy when you are fortunate enough to have living children back at home can be a blessing and a curse. Having been through this myself twice, I often felt like I couldn’t really complain about my loss of Sophie and Charlie as much as a mother who hadn’t been able to bring any of her children...
With Halloween fast approaching I have started planning what tasty treats I would like to try making (and eating) with my children. Below I have put together a list of 8 of my favourite looking recipes for you to try too.
Halloween themed recipes
Gross toasts
These Gross toasts are made by topping bread with tomato puree, cheese and olives. Decorated in a way to...
Our local woods is one of my favourite places to take our dog for a walk, but our children can get a bit bored of walking the same loop over and over again! So, I have tried to be a bit more creative to make our time in the woods fun for everyone! I have put together a list of some of the things my children enjoy doing, that I hope you and your children will enjoy doing too. 8 Fun activities for...
We have recently started having a Family film night on a Friday night, which we all absolutely love! We get home from school and work, make some snacks and snuggle up on the sofa to end off our week.
We have watched quite a few films so far, today I will be sharing my top 3 films for you to watch with your families this weekend....
My daughter really loves her barbie dolls, so I have been trying to find some activities that we can do with them.
After a few goes in the sand tray, our barbies were obviously pretty dirty so we decided to set up a barbie bath station outside, so my children could give them a good wash.
We have had so much fun with our tuff tray over the holidays and this Farmyard tray was a huge hit. Part of the fun for my children was actually creating the farmyard scene with me.
What is a tuff tray?
A tuff tray is a large heavy duty plastic tray. The tray is generally octagonal shaped with raised sides that are perfect for containing different materials. Tuff trays are perfect...
My son is totally monster truck mad at the moment! There is always some kind of race set up going on in our house, so I thought I would try and spice things up a bit by creating a race track for his monster trucks in our sand tray!
All you really need for this activity is a sand tray and some monster trucks. I added in some extra cones and ramps we had to help mark out a few...
On sunny days my children love pretending to set up their own play shop, and ice creams are normally the first thing they think of to sell! So, this week we decided to set up our own ice cream shop in the tuff tray, where they could make their own ice creams, which they actually got to eat too!
Now using proper ice cream would have been the obvious thing to use here, but I wanted a...
My children love a family film evening, where we all get to snuggle up the sofa with a great film and even better snacks!
On our hunt for some tasty treats, they have started to pay more attention to the pick ‘n’ mix stations that they have in the supermarkets and this is the first place they head to. We have bought a few of these, but I quickly realised that what my children really...
Our black lab, Freddie, was only 2 when our son was born and I was so excited about them growing up together. I’d seen all the photos on Instagram of dogs snuggled up next to toddlers beds and children being inseparable from their furry best friends, so was fully expecting this amazing relationship between the two of them! Fast forward 6 years and most days I honestly don’t think they realise...
