Matilda Melody summed up in a picture. No shoes Matilda Melody summed up in a picture. 

No shoes (standard), hair wild (standard), bow and arrow (standard), and well the dresses are becoming less of a thing but apparently today this dress is something “a outdoorsy girl wears” 😂 

Still buzzing from her outdoor award and think this is another good example of why she deserved it 🥰

Home for a few days at the lush @martletwycampsite Home for a few days at the lush @martletwycampsite . It’s just a quick stay so the @isabellacamping_uk arc awning is perfect for a quick pitch up (5 mins to put up). Perfect with kids and dogs that really just want to get to the beach 🏖

Today I cried with pride twice. The first time w Today I cried with pride twice. 

The first time when I got to witness Tilly get the outdoor award at school. A very difficult award to get and one given out for exceptional behaviour and skills in all outdoor lessons and activities. It’s a wonderful award and happens to be my favourite. 

The second time when Dylan got off the school bus. Tilly told him to shut his eyes and wait and see what award she had. Dylan being an x pupil knew exactly what award it was. He scooped her up in his arms and swung her around and around whilst screaming out how amazing she is. It was one of those moments I will never ever forget and it’s well locked away in the memory bank. 

It’s been a long hard term with covid, flu, sickness, dramas and just life. This has finished it off perfectly and I’m very, very ready for the break. 

Today was a great day ❤️
So very proud of myself 🥰 First time in my lif So very proud of myself 🥰

First time in my life I’ve had colour on my nails. In fact first time in my life I’ve had nails!!! 

From 26/1 till today.

Quick Play Ideas

Quick play ideas

You may be filled with dread at the thought of doing any play ideas which involve paint and glue. On a day off from work with little time to fit everything in it is not always my idea of fun. That’s why I am keen to share some ideas for quick play. Honestly all of these activities took me minutes to throw together but can keep a young child amused for ages. You don’t need to be artistic to create quick play ideas, or have a lot of time on your hands, just some imagination and whatever you have knocking about the house or garden can easily be made into something fun and entertaining.

14369855_564521363750771_8702813570431314777_nWhat would we do without left over kitchen and toilet rolls?! Make a tube and stick on a wall or door and use whatever you have handy to pop down the tunnels. We used pasta but pom pom balls or even conkers in the autumn work well.

 

An old pot with holes and some cotton wool buds. Great for eye and hand 14390628_565825003620407_3555157453960750875_ncoordination and you could put colours on them for colour coordination.

 

 

 

14354956_564737653729142_8666251534756631798_nI used the same rolls from the tunnel we made and decorated and made into a necklace of sorts.

A selection of very basic play, for babies or young children. Pasta play, drumming on anything and everything, and colander play with toys or straws.12644944_485977094938532_2083212507664828885_n

    Some brilliant ideas! I accidentally dropped a pot of cocktail sticks on the floor the other day. My two year old loved putting them all back in again. Saved me a job and kept her occupied. Bingo!
