Babies Love Books.

Posted on July 21, 2010 5 Comments

All of the pickle kids adore books. Our kids have a good combination of book loving genes from both sides of the family, but I suspect their solid love of reading also has a lot to do with the fact that they’ve been read to from a very young age. The girls were given gifts […]

I have a thing about art and little kids…. I think they should do lots of it. Even though I often don’t want to face a potential mess, or I can’t really be bothered getting out the supplies, or I just don’t feel like supervising my small people when they create…. despite all those things […]

We Play – More Sorting.

Sorting is big in our house at the moment. The sorting tray from a few weeks back is still getting lots of use but the almost three year old is forever leaving me little lines of sorted goodness all around our house… Cars, duplo, animals, wooden blocks, gum nuts, threading reels… all are good to […]
