As a parent we worry about so many different things when it comes to our children. Something we might not consider until it happens is how to deal with nappy rash. It's at this point we frantically turn to the internet, the chemist or the advice of others for a cure. Desperately wanting to treat it and stop our little one feeling any discomfort. What if there was a way to protect against the causes of nappy rash?

There have been a few birthdays lately between friends and family. The boys have been watching us celebrate. They have spoken A LOT about the cakes and they've started to mutter along to the Happy Birthday song which is beyond adorable. I have noticed as they play they keep using objects to pretend they're cakes. They will pretend to put candles on the cake and proudly present it to who ever is about wishing them a happy birthday and asking them to blow the candles out.

They showed me during the Duck Small World that they had an interest in making cakes so today - that's exactly what we did.

Recently we were kindly sent a box of goodies from Zimpli Kids. It was this box and the boys current interests that inspired this activity - Sensory Cake Making. 

Considering how much my children have loved dinosaurs - this is the first time I have created a small world in a tuff tray with this theme. As I was putting it together - I couldn't quite believe I'd not done one before. This was inspired by a new product that was gifted to us by Zimpli Kids. I shall reveal all about the product used at the end of this post. 

With the boys taking a real interest in numbers and loving Nursery Rhymes - today we've gone for a bit of sensory play combining both. Now the warmer weather is here we are loving lots of messy/sensory play out in the garden. 

We have had the pleasure of testing some fabulous activity packs from My Busy Bots over the last couple of weeks. 

It was great to be contacted by the two lovely Moms behind the business - Candice and Leanne who have a passion for children learning through play. Together they have created an impressive range of busy bags to keep children between the ages of 18 months to 8 years occupied whilst on the go and at home. 

In a recent survey 90% of children said they would love the opportunity to have a garden at school. 

Through extensive research it have been proved  that planning and planting a garden gives children a sense of responsibility. It also has fantastic social and emotional benefits too as being outdoors in general improves mood and brings about a sense of calm. It brings about lots of wonderful learning experiences and decreases anxiety.
