I think you can always tell when the Summer holiday has started because we’ve signed up for the Summer Reading Challenge at our local library! Have you heard of the Summer Reading Challenge? It’s the UK’s biggest reading promotion for children aged four to eleven and runs over the summer holidays. It’s completely free to…
Can you believe that it’s 14 years since we were first introduced to The incredibles? I’ve always been a huge fan of Pixar films and enjoyed watching this when it first came out, and re-watching it with my children last week. Disney Pixar’s The Incredibles Bob Parr (A.K.A. Mr. Incredible), and his wife Helen (A.K.A….
Last month we reviewed the fabulous How to make your own Squishies & Slime magbook. It’s a brilliant book for crafty kids with over 50 DIY projects to squish, squash, smoosh and stretch.
