My own 8-year-old has recently taken it up and it is fast becoming one of his favourite sports! While it may seem like a slow-paced and leisurely game, golf offers numerous benefits for young players that go beyond the course. From enhancing physical fitness...
We’ve been busy making lots of sweet cones in preparation for an upcoming school fete and some birthday parties we are going to. I always find that sweet cones make great gifts and children really love the variety inside.
These sweet cones got a great reaction from my children when they first saw them, which was great, as these were a bit fiddly to make.
Yesterday I posted a reel on my Instagram account showing me doing a food sorting activity with my daughter ( you can see the activity here ).

My children loved the Disney film Encanto, so I decided to make an activity using the characters today.

The only downside is that they can be quite expensive! So, for a quick tip, did you know...
We saw this ice lolly hack recently and had to give it a go! If you have drinks cartons in the fridge, like smoothies or orange juice, you can easily turn these into ice lollies to make an extra tasty, cold and healthy treat.
All you need to do is get your carton of choice, we chose a smoothie and cut a small slice in the top. The slice needs to be just big enough for you to slot an...
With the warmer weather finally here, my two little ones are loving having more Ice Lollies to help them cool down. The only challenge I find with ice lollies is when they start to melt and run all over the children's hands and, inevitably, all over their clothes!
