Little House of Science – Classes for Curious Minds

by StaceyUpdated on June 9, 2016June 10, 2016

Jacob is at that age now where it feels like he asks 500 questions a day, about anything and everything. He is such a curious little person, and with his brother wanting to do everything he does, he is closely following in his footsteps. We do a lot of learning activities and crafts at home but one thing we don’t really focus on is science. Of course, we encounter science absolutely everywhere in our everyday lives and unless we start teaching our children about it from a young age, they just think things “work”. Obviously there is science behind how …

Easy Paw Patrol biscuits | Kids recipe

by StaceyUpdated on May 16, 2016May 17, 2016

Do you have a Paw Patrol fan in your house? We do, both boys are obsessed with it and must watch it at least once a day; if it’s not watching it, then it’s playing with their Paw Patrol toys. They also love biscuits. And they also love making a mess helping in the kitchen, so the other day we quickly made these Paw Patrol biscuits (animal footprint biscuits really, disguised as Paw Patrol, because that makes it more fun!). There are only 3 ingredients and you don’t really need to do much, though an adult should melt the chocolate of course. For …

Colours Colours Everywhere | Book review

by StaceyUpdated on August 12, 2017April 26, 2016

As you can probably tell by now, we really love books in this house! Jacob is already familiar with his colours, whereas Noah is still learning about colours and objects so a book we were recently sent to review – Colours Colours Everywhere – fits the bill for both of these. The Colours Colours Everywhere book itself is hardback, which I do prefer for my children as Noah especially, is a bit of a book ninja (I may have mentioned that before?). The book contains all of the primary colours and those in between, including black & white. Some of the pictures on …

The Cloudosaurus Rex | Book review

by StaceyUpdated on May 16, 2016April 15, 2016

If you have been reading my blog recently you may have noticed that I have two little boys who are quite into dinosaurs at the moment. Add to that our love of books, and the fact that Jacob is currently loving learning about the outdoors, and The Cloudosaurus Rex is a book that we are finding great right now! A fun rhyming action book, perfect for children aged 3 – 6 years who love to join in with the actions and the rhyming verse as they learn about other people’s feelings, the days of the week and the weather. Blurb: May, Adelle …

The Rabbit Who Wants To Fall Asleep | Book Review

by StaceyUpdated on January 2, 2026February 27, 2016

I have mentioned recently that we have had sleep issues with both boys. We made some changes to Noah’s routine, so it was different to Jacob’s (where we had the most problems). He does seem to be better at bedtime, though sometimes he can be a proper little monkey (like a few nights ago when he headbutted me in the mouth – ouch). In order to try and improve this some more, a few weeks ago we added a new bedtime story to his routine – The Rabbit Who Wants To Fall Asleep.
