Christmas Sensory Bauble Craft

Christmas Sensory Bauble Craft - finished baubles

This month’s Bostik Blogger theme is Christmas. Since Biggest is a great sensory seeker and loves Christmas decorations of all types, I decided to create a craft that would make Christmas even more of a sensory experience for him – and develop his motor skills. We used every day items and hollow, clear plastic baubles,… Read More

Moana Cake Tutorial with Video

Moana Cake Tutorial feature

Biggest’s fifth birthday cake was Moana themed. One of his great loves is Disney and Moana is one of his firm favourites. The cake looks great but the basic beach and wave effect is actually really easy to create. You just need digestive biscuits (smashed or broken up in a blender) and a piping bag.… Read More

Visual Timetable for Starting School

This month’s Bostik Blogger theme is Back to School (already?!) and ours is a particularly exciting September this year because our son is starting school for the first time.

Rainbow Glitter Slime Sensory Play – UK Slime Recipe

Rainbow Glitter Slime Sensory Play - with UK Slime Recipe

Biggest likes to watch those YouTube videos. If you have a child aged 2-8, you probably know the ones. They involve blind bags and surprise eggs and Play Doh and glitter slime. And your child will be endlessly fascinated with watching them on repeat until you lose the will to live. Biggest has been particularly… Read More

Paper Flowers Craft for Imaginary Play

Paper Flowers Craft for Imaginary Play

Littlest loves flowers. Whenever we have any in the house she is always asking to be lifted up to touch them. It can be a little dangerous though, as fresh flowers are usually in glass vases full of water. In addition, it is not always practical or sensible to let a two year-old play with… Read More
