It’s so exciting that the weather where we live is warming up. On days like this I start thinking about all the things we can do outdoors. Possum enjoys using finger paint, however, I thought I’d try freezing coloured water blocks and allow her to paint with those. This is a great activity because it […]
Books for Babies – INDESTRUCTIBLES
People often email and ask me to recommend books, especially for babies. Hands down you can not go past INDESTRUCTIBLES. Indestructible books are the perfect way to allow babies to experience books (sighting pictures, words and turning of pages) in a way they understand. They are TEAR-PROOF, CHEW-PROOF and WATERPROOF (aka drool). I love and […]
