Katinka’s Tail Review and Giveaway

by

I love reading stories with my kids but as the nights draw in I think I enjoy it even more. It’s not quite Hygge (because I’ve failed on the fairy lights front and I don’t trust naked flames) but it is definitely the time for snuggles, blankets and enjoying some time together. Katinka’s Tale is the latest story from Judith Kerr OBE – a favourite childhood author of mine who is now loved by my kids too as they share my copy of The Tiger Who Came To Tea (complete with ‘Kate age 4’ written in it). Today I’m sharing a little about Katinka’s Tail and how you can win a copy along with some other of Judith Kerr’s other stories.

15 The Very Hungry Caterpillar Activities

by

The Very Hungry Caterpillar has to be one of the most classic kids book ever and I’ve yet to find a kid that doesn’t love it! It’s also a book that’s really popular with parents, schools and preschools following the EYFS – I know that both my kids have ‘studied’ it at different times (does a three year old study a book? Maybe explored would be a better word?!) but it’s also one that’s fun to do some simple activities for at home too. These The Very Hungry Caterpillar activities are all fun, cute and perfect for kids – which one is your favourite?

Miffy In The Garden Small World

by

We are all struck down with Man Flu this week, so today while my son was at Playgroup and my daughter was having a nap I thought I’d try and make a little craft to make them smile. We’ve been reading Miffy in The Garden and both my kids love to garden too (or in my youngest’s case, eat dirt). But with the weather today? No thanks. I thought this Miffy small world would give them the chance to ‘play gardening’ inside and hurray because they loved it!

aliens love underpants crafts and activities for kids

My kids love all Clare Freedman’s Underpants books but I think the alien themed one is probably our favourite, rhyming stories are always a hit with children and anything that might count as slightly rude or cheeky is always a winner with my kids too! These Aliens Love Underpants activities and crafts are loads of fun with alien dressing up ideas, a flying saucer craft, maths activities, easy alien crafts and a cool small world play idea.
