Spotted! Playon Crayons – Perfect for Little Hands
Perfectly shaped for a little fist to wrap around whilst creating masterpieces and when their work is done much fun to be had with stacking them. Genius.
The Best ‘proper’ MP3 For Children – the SanDisk Clip Zip
A couple of years ago we reviewed the Sansa Clip+, which my boys use and which we loved. Well, here we are, 10 days away from driving to Paris (*squeee*) and woe of woes. Upon investigating the weird clonkety-clonk going on in the washing machine I spy, with a sinking heart, one much-loved-and-often-stashed-in-a-pocket MP3 player spinning not-very-merrily against the glass door. Nightmare. I can do nothing but wait for the cycle to...
Mother’s Day Gifts – Kindle Skins. *swoon*
I used to be VERY sniffy about the Kindle. Tis true, I did. Then I wavered. And succumbed. And got one for Christmas. Now? I *LOVE* it. But… tis a vay ugly thing in it’s dull grey boringness.

Loads and loads and LOADS of...
How to design and make a beaded bracelet
Customising glass beads and making bracelets is such a fun activity. The finished product can be tailored to create whatever fashion style you like.

Or what about adding little CND symbols so that you can recreate that San Francisco 1960s hippy-chick look – if you do be sure to wear flowers in your hair! Craft Supplies...
The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak – Book Shelf reviews
When I picked up this book at the library, I wasn’t sure what to expect, if I’m honest. I had seen good reviews, and I liked the cover (yes, we ALL judge books by their covers, you know it’s true) – and you never know whether that’s going to be a good risk or a bad risk do you? This one? This was the very BEST of all book risks. I loved this book. I did not want to put it down – I even cooked a...
Bic’s wipeboard for children? Under £4? Brilliant, that’s what it is.
We love this little board. We SO do. Pone side is squared graph paper, and the other side is blank. There is a clip at the top which is a rubber and also a clip for the pen. Simple, neat and SO handy. I have a 5yr old girl, and she loves or draw and write. Constantly and endlessly. And I know she’s not alone in her obsession. But keeping up with it in terms of paper is hideousness – a problem which this board neatly...
