  • Ball pit ideea

    Ball pit ideea

    I had this inflatable paddling pool as a ball pit and it was amazing! It was soft, gave support for my little one when she was still learning how to sit up and there were no hitting the head on the hard floor incidents. A must have from my point of view. I used it…

  • Tarpaulin play

    Tarpaulin play

    Super easy idea with a tarpaulin cover. I use it to protect the floor when doing messy play at big gatherings. You can use this as a big parachute, hiding place or just on the floor for some noisy fun play. Works with any age really. Add soft toys on top or just fluff it…

  • Scrach & draw animals book

  • Pottery project

    Pottery project

    As the title suggests all you need is a pottery kit for kids. The one I have has all the materials including the paints. As this needs to dry, this is an activity in two stages. You can buy a set like that for £10 and make a few projects with it. Keep the mix…
