Last week was a sickly week for us so we didn’t do many activities, instead a lot of the time was spent cuddling and sleeping. So here today instead of an activity is my 10 blogs to go to for activities for Toddlers.
The Educators Spin On It – written by Kim and Amanda who like me are former teacher but also parents. They post ideas and activities for everyone from babies to school age children including series on Gardening, Organising, [...] Rainy Day Mum Tuesday, 10th of April 2012 at 07:30:00 AM
As J and T are so young I wanted something that would catch their interest as well as teach them a little about the Earth’s Natural Environment and found the inspiration whilst cooking and planting seeds recently. [...] Rainy Day Mum Monday, 9th of April 2012 at 07:30:00 AM

What you need to make the [...] Rainy Day Mum Wednesday, 15th of February 2012 at 07:00:00 AM I just couldn’t resist writing this post and all credit goes to The Imagination Tree for it. When I read about how easy it was to make I didn’t believe a word of it…. I’ve tried homemade play dough – I even wrote our recipe at the start of the blog but it is hard work and takes a long time to make by which point J is annoyed and T is starting to get fed up and my arm hurts. So when we’ve used play dough in the past it’s been shop brought stuff. But then Anna at The Imagination Tree kept posting about her no cook homemade play [...] |

I love sharing some of my favourite blogs with you at the weekend, and this week I’m sharing blogs that bring books alive.

First off is Sun Hats and Wellie Boots, wrote by another British Author this blog brings alive many of my favourite stories, I’m still [...]
