Rainy day
I expect there are lots of people in the UK waterlogged at the moment. Thankfully where we are (at the top of a hill, but we do suffer from field run off), although the roads got bad due to the…
Play & Learn
Everything about activities – playing and learning, new and old activities
Stereotypical toys and natural play
Toddler play always intrigues me. N’s quite happy playing on his own; sometimes he’ll drag me over to play with something as well, or just sit and watch him, but on the whole he’s happy to choose what he wants…
Building Dens for toddlers
I think I need a bit of practice at making dens. I remember going to family friends and building great dens, but N’s not seemed fussed about them so far. He has started wanting to sit on the sofa and…

Odd?! Couldn’t work…
Teddy bear love
Although he’s always had some teddies (well, elephant, cow, polar bear, dog and teddy) at the head of his cot that occasionally he chucks out, Nathaniel’s never really been that fussed about cuddly toys. He has a small Peter Rabbit…
Do you really need baby toys
*Ad-contains affiliate links It’s really hard not to go mad with buying all the baby toys you see. There’s obviously the ‘in’ toys, currently the Jumperoo (a brilliant activity centre come bouncer, which has fans & people against it due…
