Earlier in the Easter holidays I shared some free Peppa Pig printables to keep your children busy. There’s Peppa Pig Easter bunting, a Peppa Pig Easter card to colour and Peppa Pig Easter hat to make. There are lots more Peppa Pig activities to keep the children busy this holiday and every day on the Peppa Pig website.

We were sent so many lovely things that I thought…

We have been really busy over the Easter holidays. We’ve had trips to grandparents, fun days out and plenty of time for playing and crafts.

She loves to dress up as Doc McStuffins. She was sent the Doc McStuffins Light Up Doctor Shoes from Flair which has added a new dimension to her play time. The Doc McStuffins Light Up Doctor Shoes are the perfect addition…

I feel a little late posting my Monday happy things but we’ve had a busy long weekend away. Now we’re happily back at home and unpacked and I feel I have a few moments to reflect on last week. – I loved watching my 3 year old decorate her Easter bonnet. She chose a pretty purple straw hat and decorated it with felt animals from Hobbycraft. This year she really enjoyed taking part in the Easter bonnet parade at her nursery. – Over the Easter weekend we ate at The Bell in Rode which was lovely. We found out we…

Then comes the fun part, take the lid of one and the base of another and pop them together. Simple! Then connect…
