The Castle of Courage from ELC
NB – if you’re here looking for the instructions to ELC’s Castle Of Courage, just click here. We found them for you! I wasn’t sure either of my boys would be interested in the Castle of Courage. Neither of them has shown much interest in any sort of role-play game, but they were both keen to help me get on and build the castle, which was a bit of a challenge… There are a LOT of pieces, but fortunately...

Spotted! Vintage Kids from the other side of the wo-o-orld!
… oh, watch out, *want alert*… I was given the nod about this most amazing of websites by MumsRock (thank you!). Oh, my, oh my, oh my. What gorgeousness it beholds. If vintage clothing is your thing, you may want to stop by for a poke around. If one-off hand made childrens clothing is your thing, you may want to mosey on inside. If quirky, sweet or cool clothing is what you seek for your small people – well, then,...
