    Okido magazine and Messy Goes to Okido on CBeebies

    September 1, 2015 - By 

    I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to discover Okido magazine but I recently came across an issue and we’re all hooked. It is so different from the magazines the children pester me from whilst we food shopping, and in a really good way. Each issue is themed and helps your child learn through the stories, activities and games which stimulate creativity and inspires scientific interest. The lovable monster called Messy is to feature in his own comedy adventure, science-educational show called ‘Messy goes to Okido’. The BBC has acquired the animation series, the first episode will air…

    The Clangers returns to our screens

    June 12, 2015 - By 

    A large part of my parenting journey seem to a full on nostalgia-fest, reliving with my own children some of my favourite childhood toys and tv programmes. Did you know the Clangers are coming back to children’s tv via CBeebies? The first episode will air at 5:30pm on Monday 15th June and will be on daily. We saw a brief advert for it yesterday and my children were intrigued by the little mouse-like creatures who live on, and inside, a small moon-like plane. My favourite character has to be Granny Clanger who is fond of knitting. Luckily for them (and…

    Tree Fu Tom magazine

    October 11, 2013 - By 

    If you’re the parent of a pre-schooler you are probably familiar with the magical world of Tree Fu Tom and Treetopolis. My son loves the programme and can often be found sending magic to Tom in his own unique way! He was pretty excited to receive a copy of the new Tree Fu Tom magazine which launched last month. The magazine is packed full of activities to keep little ones busy. My children enjoyed the stickers, colouring, learning about ladybirds and playing the games. There was lots to do so they kept returning to it and I think it represents…
