Everything about activities – playing and learning, new and old activities
I’ve never thought of myself as creative – as a grown up I’ve done card and jewellery making. My strength is an eye for colour and placement rather than innovation. Having N, I try to encourage creativity. I want to see him…

Last year poor N just had a water table and a paddling pool, which was a cheapo circular one that was mainly used as a ball pit. With our outdoor water tap being in the lodger’s side of the garden,…
We’re rocking and rolling onto month 4 of my Musical Exploration with Children linky. The linky live each month on the 15th, and it’s open until the end of the same month. If you want a reminder let me know and…
