Current favourite book

At the moment, little person is enjoying, in fact 'loving' 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' by Jeff Kinney. The book provides tonnes of giggles, but at the same time it is reassuring that he is reading something. If you've followed our story on instagram (homeeder) you'll know how we've tried so many methods to encourage reading!

I wasn't sure if a blog post about little persons favourite books (the whole series) was really going to be an interesting read, however, I found that our best loved bookshop had a fab offer on at the moment.

So lets talk about the bookshop

Favourite bookshop

So, the bookshop that we voted (in this house) is the one and only, Waterstones.
I have spent many a days at various Waterstones shops, and time has flown because it's been a quiet, tranquil place to lose yourself in the world of words.

It's not only the fact that there are so many books, so inevitably, if you love books you'll be in a happy place, it's the atmosphere, ambience and set up that make these bookshops stand out.
It always feel very calm, and you're almost certain to find what you're looking for.

Yipee adventure box - bug hunting theme

Yippee adventure box - bug hunting theme box We received the marvellous Yippee adventure box to trial, and after having enjoyed the activities with both 7 and 3 year old, I felt a review was worthwhile. Yippee boxes are designed to encourage science, technology, engineering, art and maths (STEAM), and 'To facilitate fun and special family experiences.' Upon opening the 'Bug box' both kids were overwhelmed with the contents and eagerly dived in, so off we were, on our yippee adventure! What's in the box? The bug box arrived with two categories of activities, 'Bug homes' and 'Go on a bug adventure'. Bug homes Bug homes activities were all about that, making, creating and designing homes for little creatures. The first activity little person dived into was, making his spider web and spider. The activities can be easily carried out by children, except using the scissors..

Fusha House arabic

I was kindly offered the opportunity to complete a free session using FushaHouse arabic. Arabic has been a language that I've always wanted to learn, and it's also a language I've been passionate about. As little person has taken to writing and reading in English, Arabic was the second language I wanted him to learn. When learning a language, it is important to find resources that are easy to use, especially for younger learners. Over time I have tried so many books, apps and websites, but if the resource isn't exciting or encapsulating, young leaners loose interest very quickly. There is nothing worse than spending so much money and zero use. Nevertheless, I believe we have found a resource that ticks all the boxes. FushaHouse offers interactive learning, it is also child user friendly and the pace enables children to feel at ease, without feeling overwhelmed very quickly into the process. A lot of language resources seem to very quickly move on from basics to

Endangered animals activity pack

We recently received this wonderful fact filled pack from Archiboldclutterbuck (to read more about Archiboldclutterbuck resources click here). Contents and what we think The pack is made up of an activity booklet and a poster. The poster is a great visual tool; with in depth (but not overbearing-too much to read) information about 6 critically endangered animals across the globe. Each animal is listed with a fact file (for instance type of animal, habitat etc), and reason as to why they are critically endangered. For each animal listed there is a beautiful photograph; I do believe having photography in such posters and texts is important , as it really does bring the whole concept and idea to 'life'. We love the poster as it's a great size, vibrant and easy to understand, with all the vital information but without too much to read, making it a perfect poster! The activity pack is what you would ideally expect when teaching endangered animals. Learning fo
