Everyone’s favourite witch – Great Read

Winnie the Witch – this is another of M’s favourite book characters. Winnie is a ditzy, entertaining and messy witch. Her hilarious antics include accidentally tossing her wand in the washing machine, crashing her broomstick into a large building which ‘suddenly got in her way’, her cat Wilbur losing two of his whiskers when Winnie [&hellip

The Wizard of Oz – camp for tots

Centre Stage tutors, together with visiting tutors from Pineapple Studios, Central College London an Mountview, will be holding their Shining Stars Summer Camp again in July for boys and girls aged 4-6years. Working with The Wizard of Oz they will introduce kids to performance arts through fun, fun, fun mornings of singing, dancing and acting. [&hellip

Mixing it up!

This was M’s first foray into mixing colours. I just printed about 20 ‘Gaston the ladybird’ free internet colouring sheets from Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom and kept feeding them to her until she got bored. This was my favourite, so I marked her painting milestone by scanning it at work and getting it printed [&hellip

Pom Pom Craft Tried

It’s springtime in Dooradoyle! This simple image was fun to create with just coloured paper, paint and pom poms (cotton wool balls would look better – fluffier and not as uniform as pom poms). Just paint an oval for the body, another oval for the head, with ears, and four wobbly legs!! then let them [&hellip

Those coughing nights!!

Every kid I know seems to be coughing at the moment, including M. Coughing nights stress me out!!. Here are a few things I swear by to relieve the symptoms of a headcold and coughing – leading to a full night sleep (for all!!) – nobody can function in this house without sleep!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

One of M’s well-worn books is the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle – it was nice to have a story to go along with this little craft idea found. How To Made It: >Cut egg carton into strips (job for mum) – the example has a run of 6 so I sellotaped two strips [&hellip

Toilet Roll Craft Idea Found

I love this one and will try with M at the weekend. It seems like a quick one with little preparation. If you don’t have sequins or googly eyes, just draw them on. What You Need: toilet roll tube, paint, black marker, glue, 2 googly eyes and sequins (buttons could be used instead). How You [&hellip

‘Mr Wolf’ Puppet Show – May 8th

O’Mahony’s Booksellers are holding a puppet show this Saturday May 8th! at 11.30am and 4pm. The half hour show will centre around ‘Mr Wolf’ who receives a party invitation that he can’t read – he visits all his well known friends for help, including the Three Little Pigs, Billy Goats Gruff and Goldilocks. This is [&hellip

Never to young to make a fashion statement

These make me almost wish M wasn’t potty trained. A bit of nonsense I know, but keep an eye out for them in Tesco anyway – wouldn’t it be great if they were available this side of the Atlantic. Huggies Little Movers :

Free lunchtime concerts in the park

Throughout May top local musicians and singers will perform lunchtime concerts in the People’s Park and Arthur’s Quay Park – classical, jazz, traditional and choral performances are on the menu, with a side order of band. We’ll definately be in the front row for the choirs on May 15th (wouldn’t you also love to hear [&hellip

Molly Moo-Cow

When checking how ‘Molly Moo’ was performing on Google (3 weeks on) I came across a cartoon character called Molly Moo-Cow from the 1930’s. M’s godmother gave her his petname when she was a baby and it stuck – I wonder if she had this in mind&#

International Dance Day – a big hit

Congratulations Daghdha and congratulations Limerick on a great few hours of dance yesterday. We were only able to enjoy half the programme, from 4 until 6pm, as there was a small matter of bedtime to consider, but during those two hours we were treated to a different group and style of dance every 15minutes. Molly [&hellip

The Tale of a Terrible Pirate

I bought this book because Molly’s 3 year old friend loves pirates, but when she saw it she had to have it too!!. It’s a really funny read, brilliantly written with great illustrations. Comical Captain Yellowbelly is a clumsy fool of a pirate – he stumbles from one disaster to the next getting crosser and [&hellip

Pinktastic book for girls

Molly loved this book when she was in her pink pink pink phase (since Disney’s Princess & The Frog was released however pink is out and Princess Tiana blue is in, thank God) !! – Pinkalicious is about an obnoxious little girl who really likes pink, her parents warn her not to eat too many [&hellip
