Favourite books....favourite bookshop...

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.

I had to post about the absolutely fantastic discounts on the 'Diary of a Wimpy kid' books at the moment at Waterstones. 
Just to give an example, 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Getaway' is down to £4.99, 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Meltdown' is down from £12.99 to a brilliant £9.99...well the whole series is on offer, so hop along to Waterstones site and have a browse!

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 ...

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...
