I’ve had lots of luck charity shopping recently as my daughter and I found some boxed Sylvanian Families sets. We snapped them up and she’s been playing with them ever since. We found Madeline’s Boutique and Highfields Barn but her favourite is Madeline’s Boutique as she loves to shop and pink is her favourite colour!…

Creative fun with Plasticine
I love making my own home made play dough for the children. It’s really cheap to make and lasts for ages. However, we were offered some products from the Plasticine range by Flair, the original modelling clay and a timeless classic that can be used in a huge variety of ways! The products are aimed…
Role playing fun with the Hetty Cleaning Trolley
Role play is really important to help children explore their imagination and develop social skills. My children love role playing, even though they probably aren’t even aware when they are doing it. The children have an indoor and outdoor kitchen and they can spend hours taking orders for food, preparing food, serving it, taking money…
Schleich Horse Riding Arena
I’ve always hoped my children would been keen to collect Schleich toys. They’re a great heritage brand and represent excellent quality and value to me as a parent. Luckily both my children love collecting Schleich animals and people. They’re perfect for small world play, pocket money friendly and a day out is never complete without…

This year we were sent two fun extension sets which means my children can have even more fun. The first set was the Twister Extension Set which…
Win an In the Night Garden Glowing Bedtime Makka Pakka

Crafting with Aquabeads
This week we have been crafting with aquabeads. You may remember we tried Aquabeads last year and we were keen to try them again with Big Brother being a little older. Aquabeads join together with just a spray of water. We received the Aquabeads Alpha Set which contained over 500 beads in eight different colours,…
Afternoon tea with the stars of The Furchester Hotel
The Furchester Hotel made its debut on CBeebies in September and was the number one rated new children’s show last autumn. Aimed at 3 to 6 year-olds the show follows a close-knit family of cheerful Muppet monsters who own and operate an ‘almost’ world-class hotel. Afternoon tea with the stars of The Furchester Hotel About…
Doc McStuffins Light Up Doctor Shoes from Flair
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. The weather has been amazing which has meant the children have spent a lot of time outdoors. A couple of times Little Sis has set up her toy hospital outside…
