Learning with LeapFrog

Mar 11 2014

I have shared my love of LeapFrog here on the blog a few times now and that’s because it is a brand that just keeps giving. I love that they continually produce products to suit a range of ages and encourage learning from the start. Mr 5 has a LeapReader that he uses daily and we recently added a new book to the collection that is proving to be very popular with not only him but every other child that visits; Doc McStuffins: The New Girl. The book encourages good vocabulary skills and healthy habits while educating children about cultures, health and social skills. LeapFrog The fun new AlphaPup aimed for 1-3 year olds is a fantastic product that teaches the alphabet, phonics and is great for improving gross motor skills. It is full of colour and has a range of settings for sound that include: the alphabet, singing and…

Toby’s Travelling Circus + GIVEAWAY

Mar 09 2014

Like many homes around Australia we seem to constantly have ABC for Kids playing in the background and keeping our little ones amused. With the new addition of Toby’s Travelling Circus to the already much loved channel Roadshow Entertainment has released the new kids ABC For Kids DVD Toby’s Travelling Circus: Roll Up. Roll Up! There has been a lot of excitement in our house over this release and I admit it’s not only from the kids. The fun and engaging animated series is aimed at pre-school children however it is enjoyed by older and younger ages. The DVD consists of 8 episodes full of circus fun and antics which means it is great for keeping your kiddies amused when you need that 5 minutes of quiet time, well it’s actually 80 minutes if you want to get excited too. My boys (aged 5 & 7) have been watching this…

Exploring First Foods + GIVEAWAY

Aug 30 2013

I’ll be honest and admit that when my both my boys were little and began eating solids I never made their food for them. It was always store bought in jars or tins from the baby section of the supermarket. I did make them mash potato but that was only when we were having it. So for the most part they didn’t experience homemade nutritional meals until they could properly eat. I always put it in the too hard basket when realistically it would have taken much to make homemade puree meals for them. At least that way I would know exactly what was in their food; not that store bought baby food seems to have done any harm to the boys. I am going to give it go making my own baby food this time round which shouldn’t be too hard now that I have this neat little contraption to…

MAM Anti-Colic Baby Bottles

Jun 28 2013

Approximately 20% of babies will become colicky which is quite unfortunate for both baby and parents. I have been fortunate enough so far that I haven’t had to experience this personally however I have witnessed the torment, pain and sleepless nights it has caused friends of mine. Which is why when I come across a great product that is going to help mothers stress less and help their baby be pain free I want to share it with everyone. I have been giving the MAM Anti-Colic bottles a bit of a test run for the purpose of this review and even though I have been filling it with breast milk my baby took to the bottle like she was attached to my boob. It was like she didn’t know any better which is definitely saying something for the quality of these teats. They are extra soft just like a nipple…
