1. Tommee Tippee Training Cup Review & Giveaway

   Posted on 10:23pm Sunday 28th Jun 2015

   Tommee Tippee as a brand need no introduction, although most people seem to associate the brand with baby bottles but they also have a range of weaning cups. Tommee Tippee states that; 

   "Up until this point they’ve been used to breast or bottle, so introducing a cup is an important step in their weaning journey.To help the transition go smoothly, this cup features a super soft spout that is gentle on gums, and large handles that are easy to grip. And because life with a baby is messy enough, a non-­spill valve keeps mess to a minimum!"

   We decided to let one of our tiny testers to review it.

   

   His happy face tells a story but his mum actually tells us that "it is a fuss free and truly non spill bottle. My son drinks so nicely from this and there is literally not a drop of spillage, even when he pretends its an aeroplane and runs around the garden with it."

   

    Key Features

   • Specially designed for baby’s firsts sips providing a smooth transition from breast or bottle to cup drinking
   • Removable, one piece non-spill valve keeps mess to a minimum
   • Super soft spout is gentle on your baby’s sensitive gums

   • All tommee tippee cups are BPA free

   

   Some of our favourite features :

2. Competition : My Favourite Animal

   Posted on 8:20pm Saturday 9th May 2015

   Having two little monkeys, oops I mean children, in our house it is no secret that we love animals. The girls always want to go and feed the chickens or horses and the toddler seems to have found a strange recent obsession with the cows in the farmers field, so we have been talking recently about taking them to a safari park. We are therefore delighted to share this competition in associated with The Aspinall Foundation, one of the leading safari and animal conservation parks in the UK working in conjunction with Port Lympne and Howletts Wild Animal Parks.

   They are running a great competition at the moment and are looking for children of all ages to tell them: “What is your favourite animal and why?” Some of their keepers have already got involved by telling us theirs:

    

   The contest entry is really easy to enter: recording a short video (60 seconds or less), then, uploading the video to either the Port Lympne or Howletts Facebook page along with the hashtag #AnimalsRockComp.

   After a family discussion, we decided that the big cats were our favourite (and I don't mean our crazy moggy) but the beautiful lion pride, as the man on the Lilypad very often refers to us as his pride. He *may* also say that a King only bows down to his Queen .... I am kind of hoping that means me!

    

   The winners will be chosen by TV personality and animal lover Paul O' Grady and the prizes include:

   ·         The chance to be a Junior Ranger, or join the Keeper Academy along with four Gold Cards to both Howletts and Port Lympne animal parks 

   ·         A personal VIP Safari Experience for four at the Port Lympne Reserve

   ·         4 Passports to either Howletts or Port Lympne Reserve 

   There are no age restrictions on the competition, so adults are welcome to try their luck as well as kids to be in with a chance to win. The end date is 31st May 2015 at 11:59pm. Entries after the closing date will not be accepted.

   Good luck!

3. Scottish Book Trust - Snarling of Wolves giveaway

   Posted on 11:20pm Sunday 29th Mar 2015

   Reading is as much part of our daily routine as teeth brushing and baths before bedtime and it is a fun part of our day. We never see it as a chore (unless you are the tween who would prefer to play on her tablet) but the toddler soaks up every descriptive word and beautifully illustrated image. Reading is fun but it is so important for children too as it expands their vocabulary and early reading skills have been directly linked to a childs academic success. 

   Reading to and with your children can be one of the most rewarding bonding times you can have as a family and so we are delighted to share details of the Scottish Friendly Children's Book Tour (organised by Scottish Book Trust) which takes the very best UK and international authors directly into schools across Scotland and the UK to inspire a love of reading, writing and illustration. In February this year the Scottish Friendly Children’s Book Tour visited schools in Birmingham with the wonderful author, illustrator, playwright and poet Vivian French!

   Vivian has published over 200 books for children of all ages including the hugely successful series The Tales from the Five Kingdoms, the first of which, The Robe of Skulls, won the 2008 Stockton Children’s Book of the Year Award. Vivian is a great storyteller, you can see her here ....

   In support of the tour, we are delighted to be able to offer you Vivian French’s ‘The Snarling of Wolves’ book in our latest giveaway.

   

   All you need to do is enter the simple question in the Rafflecopter widget below and tell us in the comments below whether the answer is:

4. Slumbersac Giveaway

   Posted on 9:07pm Monday 23rd Mar 2015

   We love finding things our children love and this week we are loving the Slumbersac.

   We know many parents and children love baby sleeping bags but what about when the get old enough to walk and get out of bed, the sleeping bag isn't always so practical then for older children, so we loved the idea of the Slumbersac. As children grow and start to take their first steps, they need all the help they can get. Slumbersac sleeping bags with feet are great for helping your child as they learn to walk and explore their world for the first time! Toddlers can enjoy the comfort and security of their sleeping bag while still being able to move about freely.

   

   Slumbersac’s sleeping bags with feet are just like their normal sleep bags but with openings for feet so children can walk around while staying cosy in their bag! The innovative sleeping bags are designed so that your child's feet fit inside the sleeping bag when sleeping and when they wake up they can pop their feet through the openings and walk or crawl around in it!

    

   We love the idea that you can get your little one into their bag and ready for bed nice and early but they will still have the freedom to play until you’re ready to put them down! Likewise in the morning, they can run around happily in their bag until it’s time to get ready for the day.

   
   We received our first Slumbersac for the toddler this week and we can vouch for the exceptional high quality, they are made from soft 100% jersey cotton, lined with 100% cotton and are padded with soft quick-dry polyester fleece. The sleeping bag with feet comes in two prints and the option of name embroidery enables you to personalize the sleeping bag with your little one’s name.
   
   Sleeping bags with feet are available in four sizes from 12 months – 4 years. (The tween is disappointed that they don't make them for older children too).

    

   12 – 18 months / 80cm (measured from shoulder to the feet)
   18 – 24 months / 90cm (measured from shoulder to the feet)
   24 – 36  months / 110cm (measured from shoulder to the feet)
   3-4 years / 120 cm (measured from shoulder to the feet)

    

   

    

   Sleeping bags with feet are available in two weights:

   • Summer weight / approx. 1.0 tog. These bags are slightly padded and suitable for use in warmer rooms with temperatures between 19 and 24 degrees.
   • Standard weight / approx. 2.5 tog.These bags are padded and suitable for general year-round use in room temperatures between 15 and 21 degrees.

   Priced from £18.99 - £22.99

    

   You can view the full range at www.slumbersac.co.uk

    

   With a winning combination of quality, value, safety and comfort, Slumbersac is your number one choice for sleeping bags for babies and children! So on the subject of winning, we are thrilled to be able to give our Lilypad readers the chance to win one and all you need to do in enter using the Rafflecopter widget below.

    

   Good luck.
