It’s not often I encourage the children to play with their food but today they could. This evening we were invited to our local Pizza Express restaurant to create a ‘ghoulish pizza’ design from the ingredients on the menu. The children couldn’t believe their luck to be shown to a table with aprons and their…
We’re a family who love being outdoors and often take a picnic out with us. I like to know exactly what my children are eating and the whole family seem to enjoy the way I make lunch! My youngest started school last month and has been taking a packed lunch every day. She loves having…

Playmobil is a top manufacturer within preschool toys and my children get hours of enjoyment from their Playmobil collection. My children like the City Life range.

A few weeks ago we reviewed the Poppy Styling Station which means my 4 year old has been ‘experimenting’ with hair styles. She’s a bit of a tomboy so I was hoping she would enjoy the Disney Princess Ariel Styling Head from Just Play. My kids love bath time. Any excuse to play in or…
