We’ve finally made it to Spring! I’ve never been happier to leave the Winter months behind. It’s been a long haul with lockdown and miserable weather. The days are so much brighter and signs of Spring are popping up everywhere with gorgeous daffodils and tulips and birdsong. I love Spring-themed activities and thought a blog sharing some of our Spring play might be useful😀.

Easter Gift Ideas
I love Easter. It is always around the time of my birthday so growing up there was always lots of family celebrations and plenty of chocolate treats around. It is also seen to be good luck to wear new clothes at Easter so we have carried on the tradition of giving clothes at Easter as well as a few other gifts which are alternatives to chocolate. However a sweet treat always makes its way in too!
You may be looking for some alternatives to chocolate gifts this Easter. I have put together some ideas which I hope will be useful.

Creating your own Advent calendar, or filling little drawers or stockings has become really popular. I have had a few people ask about toys which can specifically fit into small pockets as an alternative to a chocolate treat.
I have a drawer advent calendar whereby the drawers are only 3cm square so I know how difficult it is to find small items which will be enjoyed.
Here are a few ideas of wooden toys that you could include in your advent calendar. I have chosen small items but please check specific sizes if you are limited on space.

Recently I have been looking at designs when making Christmas Cards with the kids. I've decided I need to be more organised this year so have started looking already for ideas. I thought I'd share with you what I have found, along with our designs from last year.
