Fun Outdoor Activities for Kids
Posted on Wednesday 1st of May 2013Well the swallows are out and the sun is shining - Spring has finally arrived! We can't believe it's May already, I swear Christmas was only a few weeks ago?! Sorry we've been quiet on here the past month, we've had so much new stock arriving for our online store and shops in Wadebridge and Fowey, it's keeping us busy as always! Seeing as the weather is now much warmer and May Day AND Spring Bank Holiday are on their way, I thought I'd share some fun activity ideas that will get you and your...Read More
A Magical Easter Egg Hunt
Posted on Wednesday 27th of March 2013Easter weekend is almost upon on us, and I've spent more hours than I should browsing through crafty ideas to keep little ones busy. Anything that gets everyone outdoors and having fun scores high in my book, and even as an adult Easter Egg Hunts are a favourite of mine. They were always full of fun, magic and excitement, and if you're planning one this weekend, I've found a few ideas to make this years Easter Egg Hunt particularly special. I came across the idea of a rainbow trail from...Read More

Below are some of our favourite children’s stories which have stood the test of time.

Posted on Tuesday 5th of March 2013We all know how messy kids love to get. Whether its mud, paint or water, there’s few things they love more than getting it everywhere.

Now, playdough is one of those things that is extremely fun and creative, as well as educational and stimulating for...Read More
How to (not) Re-Decorate for Spring
Posted on Tuesday 26th of February 2013The first snowdrops of the year are well in bloom, and we’ve seen the first Daffodils pushing their way up through the cold ground to mark the beginning of spring. I love using this time of the year to freshen up and add a bit of life back into our living space after the onslaught of Christmas and the grey January blues. I particularly love to do this to the kids bedrooms, as each year (or month rather!), their interests change, and lets be honest, sprucing up a child’s’ bedroom is so...Read More
Half Term Fun in the Sun
Posted on Wednesday 20th of February 2013We hope you are all enjoying this (rare!) sunny half term week off. We’re sure you’re making the most of the weather and getting out and about, and we’ve thought of a few fun things to get your little ones outdoors for if – or when! – you run out of ideas. We are lucky enough to live not far from the sea here in Cornwall, and we love getting out to the seaside whenever the weather lets us. There’s so much for children to do at the beach, whether it’s collecting mermaid’s...Read More
