Colour Me In Rice Krispies

-
Last Thursday I received a rather large box of Rice Krispies from BritMums.  Included in my parcel was a fabulous Bumper Colouring Case from WH Smith which was made up of 58  pens, pencils, glitter glues and markers for my daughter to use to decorate the famous Rice Krispies characters on the front of the box.

I made the fateful mistake of showing her the colouring case just before we were about to head out the door to nursery.  I couldn't get it out of her tiny hands for want of trying!  

So, thinking on my feet, I grabbed my daughter with pens in tow as well as the box of Rice Krispies and headed out the door.  I decided that dealing with a toddler melt down on a Friday morning really wasn't top on my agenda and that she could do with a lesson in sharing, so why not let her take the pens and Rice Krispies to nursery and colour it in there with her friends?

Well, it was a big hit!  The children loved it and her key workers (aka wonderful and amazing nursery staff) also got involved.  End result?  A brightly coloured Rice Krispies box created with a variety of pens and glues by extremely talented 2 and 3 year olds!  Also, my daughter was happy to share with her friends so she had fun and learnt a valuable life lesson at the same time.

My daughter's beautiful team work entry is for the BritMums #ColourMeInRK competition, sponsored by Kellogg's.  If her entry is chosen the prize will be given to her nursery.

Beanies Christmas Coffees and Fab #Giveaway

A few days ago I introduced you to Beanies, The Flavour Co.  Their coffees are lovingly made in a special process bringing to you top quality premium flavoured coffees. Limited edition Christmas instant coffees are now available in these three fabulous flavours: Christmas Pudding Mulled Spice Winter Warmer So, what do they taste like? Christmas Pudding - aroma of Christmas pudding with a hint of brandy cream.  Delicious Christmas pudding after taste too which wasn't over powering, so could be enjoyed as an after dinner treat, or lunch, whatever takes your fancy.  Actually made me feel like having a mince pie to go along with it. Mulled Spice - first thing that came to mind was, of course, mulled wine.  It's quite spicy as far as a coffee goes, and to be honest, did not agree with my palate.  It does conjure up visions of a white Christmas spent around a roaring log fire.  Once again, I felt like mince pies... Winter War...

Competition and Review: Zappie - bringing walls and clothes to life!

-

Zappie  is a wonderful new app that brings pictures to life right in front of your eyes.  The first of it's kind, Zappie uses the latest augmented reality technology to bring very cute images and products to life anywhere from walls to t-shirts. Zappie was designed to support pre-school children as part of their development and play.  Not only do the wall stickers look beautiful but they can transform even the dullest of rooms into a gorgeous fun and educational space.   We were sent a set of the "I'm a Little Teapot" stickers so that we could see for ourselves just how lovely they really are.  The quality of the stickers is very good and even little hands find it easy to peel them from their sticky backing sheet and apply to the wall.  The images are large, beautifully detailed and typical of traditional English nursery rhymes, which I find very appealing. To get the images to come to life I download the free "Zappie" Nursery Rhyme a...
