Earlier this month I bought myself a ticket to the Print & Make workshop with Nikki McWilliams at West Elm. I’m sure you’ve heard of Nikki McWilliams but just in case you haven’t, she is a cool designer who creates all things biscuit-y. I first heard about her when I saw her Tunnocks’ inspired cushions….

They love Peppa and her friends and this is a great value playset, perfect for improving fine motor skills too! With the Peppa Pig Softee Picnic Dough Playset your children can have hours of fun…
