Handprinting idea

This easy handprint craft idea is perfect for any season and was really quick to do. No need to buy anything – just gather a few leaves and a handful of grass. We started with M’s handprint for the branches (you can just about see it! – it would have been better if the handprint [&hellip

Arts & Craft Camps 7-12 yrs

My sister gave me this contact for the ‘things to do with M when she is older’ vault – two of her daughters went to this arts & craft class last year and haven’t stopped talking about it since. The lady who runs the class is Margaret Walsh and she can be contacted at 086 [&hellip

Duck Racing in Adare

I don’t know if the races will involve wind up ducks or the local mallards but either way it sounds like fun.… To coincide with the JP McManus Pro-Am Adare are hosting a festival of fun for all the family, not just the golfers. From Friday July 2nd to Tuesday the 6th there will be [&hellip

Some new party ideas

Perfect for birthdays, a summer garden party or when you’re expecting an invasion of cousins! I chickened out of having a party for Molly’s recent 4th birthday and just brought a cake and some goodies into her montessori school. She had a great time – being the center of attention and having 17 kids singing [&hellip

Easter Eggimals

With styrofoam eggs we also made these adorable little egg-animals. I had only a restricted range of acrylic paint colours – if only I had some white paint I could have lightened them up. We made a dog, pig and cat but the herd could be expanded infinitely e.g owl, skunk, mouse

A clown with a big heart

Interactive live theatre for kids aged 4+ Louis Lovett (of Father Ted fame) is one of Ireland’s most experienced performers for young people. I just saw a piece on RTE’s Nationwide (while waiting for Britain’s Got Talent!) about Louis and his work for children from age 4 onwards, including the delightfully imaginative one-man children’s play [&hellip

Dance Weekend Coming Up

The busy beavers at Daghdha Dance are running a dance weekend on the 25, 26 and 27th of June at their No1 John’s Square studio. It’s the perfect chance for kids to experience more than one dance class a week during that late June weekend, and have some fun

Ballet & Tap Dance Classes

The only one of these schools I have personal experience of is Alex Dalton’s School of Dance. I, with Molly on my lap, sat in on the saturday morning baby ballet class to get a sense of what it was like and if M was ready for it. It is a far more structured class [&hellip

Cot jumping tots – buy some nappy pins

When Molly was about two she was escaping from her GroBag and climbing out of her cot. The nightly battles to get her to just lie down and go to sleep were driving me round the twist. It was only a matter of time before she had a serious fall so, thankfully, I listened to [&hellip

Blue Attack Condition

Molly didn’t spare us in the first two years. One of the challenges she rolled our way was blue attack condition. This only started when she was about 15months, after we started her in a creche. I can see now that this was triggered by separation anxiety – they were panic attacks really and happened [&hellip

If this weather holds for the weekend you’ll probably head for the coast but if you are in Limerick here’s something different for next Sunday May 30th, 4pm.
