I've just reviewed this lovely book, full of brilliant ideas for creative and messy play with babies and toddlers (click here). It's guaranteed to give you new and simple ideas that you'd never thought of that would work just as well in a home environment as in a playgroup, so whether you're a parent or a childminder, it will be equally useful for you.
I have one copy up for grabs - UK only, closing date Sunday 13th June.

ReplyDeleteLately we've been doing some simple baking. Now when I say we're making cakes, my little ones say I need their help as I can't do it myself!!

ReplyDeleteIndoor picnics always bring a smile to mine,great if its been raining for days and its holiday. Works especially if you drees up with sunglasses and board shorts, we even get the deck chairs in the kitchen and have a summer picnic unalfresco.
