The next Ringo Starr

A gorgeous, light, wooden musical drum set by Plan Toys – basses are covered in red latex. The set creates pure and realistic sounds, enabling kids to develop their sense of rhythm and their imagination while composing their own tunes! Love it :)

Magic Bottles

This is a pretty glittery craft for preschoolers – some popular swishing and shaking fun while learning about color, floating and sinking.

Step 1: Fill the water bottles with water [&hellip

Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots?

Once upon a bad hair day, a prince rode up Rapulzel’s way… I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets tired of reading the same old stories time and time again, with the same predicable Disney plot – princess meets prince, loves true kiss, happily ever after. But hey-ho I discovered a few ‘fresh [&hellip

Discover your inner foufou

“My dad is our chauffeur. That’s a fancy word for driver.” We stumbled upon ‘Fancy Nancy’ in the library this evening – a ‘too close for comfort’ story about a little girl who loves being fancy – her lace-trimmed shoes do help her play soccer better, and sandwiches definitely taste better with frilly toothpicks stuck [&hellip
