Making glitter dough

We are always looking for fun play ideas to trial with frog. If you are looking for inspiration a-z of playdoh at nuturestore is a great place to start.

I love the ideas they have for sensory play doh, and as frog gets older I'm sure he's going to enjoying being able to explore these ideas.

Howeve , as I discovered when we made this glitter dough, he's more into the making part of play doh than the playing bit.

This playdoh creation was made with the assistance of froggy (7 months) and his cousin nutkin (18months).

I bought a messy play mat from Avon (nutkins mama is an Avon rep)

So we set up our no cook play dough on the floor.

Our mix was

One cup salt

Two Cups flour

One Table spoon baking powder

One cup of oil

And lots of glitter

We let the babies have a good mix of the dry ingredients first

Cousin nutkin mixes very well

Slowly we added the oil and food colouring

Then we added some more glitter for fun

The end result was fabulous, but didn't appeal to the babies any where near as much as the actual making of the play dough itself.

Little Bloom- Cloth Nappy reviews

If you are a newbie in cloth its hard to know what to buy. I've been using Cloth Nappies for 16 months with my first born, and am preparing to have two in cloth when my daughter arrives in May. You could say I'm somewhat of cloth nappy pro. I've moved on from my start up stash, and invest in nappies that will see us through til froggy potty trains, and ideally ones his baby sister can use afterwards too! Pocket nappies are great for this purpose and this week I'm reviewing the little bloom nappies You can grab little bloom nappies on amazon from as little as £2.89 delivered. So they are a cheap option but are they cheerful enough to do the job?

Starting our kitchen garden

Growing our own food has been an ambition of my husband and I. We both really value locally sourced produce, and enjoy spending time outdoors. In our first home together (a basement flat in the city centre) we planted anything and everything we could in planters on the windowsill. I had green beans trailing up the bars of our windows. They bolted and twirled up the bars but never got enough light to produce anything edible. Then we moved into our first pub which had masses of outdoor space, unfortunately, all car park and no dirt. We managed to sustain some hanging baskets with strawberries and a few herb planters, but that was about it. Now we are in our new home. A lovely country pub in the new forest, whiich offers a private garden just for our little family. We moved here when I was 8 months pregnants and ever since, I've been desperate to make the most of it. Since the new year we've been planning what to do with this neglected space. I found this

Sowing in January- kitchen garden and allotments

What can I grow this January? After the business of December, January has hit me like a sledgehammer. I'm bored. I need a new project, and what I really want to do is get on top of my allotment and kitchen garden.
