Busy crowds and curious children – what to do if you lose your child in a public place
Summertime is filled with opportunities to explore new places, socialise at big events and take your children to have experiences they will remember forever.
Attracting butterflies to our homes
Most of us enjoy watching butterflies fly by; children get excited and understandably want to follow them and see their stunning colours. We find butterflies fascinating... here’s why!
Not Like the Others - By Jana Broecker
Not Like the Others by Jana Broecker is a book all about celebrating our differences and what makes us all special – whether that be our skills, abilities, the shape of our noses or the colour of our hair. Embracing what makes us unique can be tricky at times, especially as a young child – it's easy to wish to be taller or want long, shiny hair when we are small, and our hair is short and frizzy!
We’re going on a butterfly count – I wonder where we will see one?

How to play with your child without having to dress up as a princess
I am sitting in our front room, half-dressed as a princess (I cannot fit the costume over my head properly, so it is currently looking like a synthetic, glittery straitjacket for misbehaving grown-ups). My three-year-old is serving me plastic cake from a small red plate. I say serving me, often he is insisting that I put the grotty-looking thing into my mouth and when I resist, he shouts toddler obscenities at me. He’s like a very pushy parent (?) and I am counting down the minutes until I can escape and make a cup of tea, or put the washing away, or do anything other than endure another second of this role play.
Excited and nervous – preparing for a holiday
The thought of going away for a holiday might fill you with joy, but sometimes young children can be a little unsure.
Paddling pool play for all ages
When you have multiple children of different ages, it can be tricky to find things to do that they will all enjoy. Something that is perfect for your baby might feel boring for your child, and something that your child loves could be something that your baby is not quite ready for.
Keeping your baby cool in a pram
We all know that the weather can be changeable and what starts out as a cool, damp morning can quickly become a sunny, warm afternoon.
