Q is for Quoits, yes, I’ve said it and who knew I’d be writing a blog post about quoits this week. It’s week Q on the #ABC123Challenge and I’ve had to come up with a play activity based around the letter Q that would be fitting for my toddler to …
Play Doh Those two little words Play Doh certainly have me shiver. I try to embrace it as much as I can. I even want to be that well-intentioned Mother who makes their own “safe” play doh, but I’m not. We have the shop bought stuff, I even requested it …
It almost seems a shame to do this activity as the weather has been so good but I suppose it could be adapted to anywhere with a bit of imagination! For the purpose of my O week though we decided to make an obstacle course indoors! The Obstacle Course Before …
We do love to get outdoors and do things and now the Robot is older his walks often mean going slow and pointing out everything. Putting this to good use one day we decided to go on a bit of a toddler nature hunt. A Nature Hunt Equipping the Robot …
There are some pretty amazing Mud Kitchen creations out there! I have a whole board of them devoted on Pinterest page. I love them all and considering I have a plumber to help acquire some scraps I can’t quite bring myself to ask him to build me the Robot a …
Growing up I remember my brother having all the Lego. Loads of it. On rare occasions I remember getting to play with it. Not until I was a lot older because of all the bits. For the Robots 1st Christmas he got given a set of Lego Duplo. At 6 …
There was one comment on last weeks round up post from my blogger friend who said “reading through the lines it’s been a tough week”. She is spot on, I don’t like to dwell on it much though because I like to write off the bad days as just that, …
When I was trying to come up with an idea for play and the Letter K I kept on coming back to the kitchen or keep fit. Kitchen play is something I do too often and I would be making stuff up if I told you I was keeping fit …
When the Robot turned two I thought it would be fun to start a journal with him. Journaling with toddlers can only be fun right!? Journals and journaling is something I’ve always loved doing, keeping a diary on and off throughout my childhood and now with my bullet journal I …
The last time we did the #ABC123Challenge we did ice play for I. This time round was a completely different experience. Ice play is more fun the older you are! The set up for ice play is one to prepare in advance. Out freezer is in the cellar which is …
Sometimes you just get stuck at home on a home play day. We’re not very good at being in all day. If it’s the weekend then it’s even worse. Dave is hopeless at staying in and we’re always on the go at the weekend because of it. There are times …
Before I had kids I used to allotment and volunteer in GirlGuiding. I always used to want to share my love of the outdoors with my Brownies and Guides and would often find ways to get them growing things. Most often growing cress! Unfortunately due to moving and the demands …
It’s Friday when I normally try write-up my round-ups. The perfect day for a letter F. As usual the week has flown by faster than ever. We’ve had plenty of fun but I clicked my neck one morning half way through the week so I’ve had a not so pleasant …
This post is not for the faint hearted! It’s not even really the best how to post. Pinterest perfect it is not. It’s an experience, one that makes me think why do I even bother. Foam shapes, no, no, no. This reminds me a bit of the time I tried …
The Robot absolutely loves vehicles. All of them, cars, trains, bin lorries, post vans, you name them he loves them! There is one thing though that gets him every time. Emergency vehicles. They’re the best. I don’t think he really understands the severity of them yet, that they’re normally heading …
