Posted on Tuesday 24th of July 2012

You may have guessed, but here at Bird Kids we love throwing a party! With the Opening Ceremony for the 2012 Olympic Games taking place on Friday, I think it's the perfect excuse! The only problem is that it doesn't start until 9pm, so if you have younger children, you might want to record the event and then hold your party the next day.

With the weather showing no signs of improvement and the kids breaking up for their summer holidays soon, I imagine that many parents are starting to fret. After all, entertaining kids for six weeks can be a massive task, but at least when the sun is shining they can head outside and play with friends.

Brand Spotlight – Tapete

Posted on Friday 6th of July 2012

Good Morning! It's Friday, so that means it's time for another Brand Spotlight! It's a bit of a grey, dreary kind of day here so I've decided to brighten things up a bit by featuring the fantastically colourful Tapete!
