Over the last few weeks we have been kept busy reviewing some of the wonderful STEM kits from Bandai. At the start of half term we were gifted some STEM kits which required a little time and patience, so we set them up and waited. We had never seen the Blue Crystal Growing Lab from…
Two weeks ago yesterday my 9 year old fractured his wrist in two places. He fell off his scooter as we were walking from our cabin, off to spend our first day exploring Centre Parcs Woburn Forest. Instead of swimming and trying all the activities we had booked, we spent the day at the local…
I couldn’t resist another craft kit. I have no patience for longer projects at the moment but when I saw an email from Cotton Clara I really couldn’t resist buying myself a cute Cotton Clara wooden banner embroidery kit. I went for one with the message Hip Hip Hooray and chose a mustard coloured thread…

Being part of an active Facebook group definitely helps as people regularly post that they have found and re-hidden our painted rocks. We recently…

The show is based on the Vampirina Ballerina series of books written by Anne Marie Pace and illustrated by LeUyen Pham. Vampirina follows the story of Vampirina “Vee” Hauntley who becomes the new kid on…
