Learning Through Play At Home, Brand New: Playmobil City Life Range
With schools closed, lockdown and Easter holidays coming up, Playmobil is even more relevant than ever.

From an early age I have always encouraged the children with messy play, not such a great idea when you have cream carpets but hey, that’s what messy mats are for. Both of my children love painting but I am not keen on tidying up their mess, so I decided to make my own paint station for them along with some DIY stampers. PAINT STATION You will need an empty egg box, some paints, brushes and newspaper for this activity. You can probably guess it isn’t rocket science, simply put your chosen paint colours into the egg pot, don’t over fill though as they will merge into one. Once you…
