Wooden toys - Cameras by Twig

For the budding photographer who isn’t quite old enough to master a fully functioning camera, check out these gorgeous specimens from Twig. I love wooden toys, and I especially love wooden toys that look like grown-up ‘toys’. These even have movable knobs and buttons, so they feel like the real thing!

DIY giant bubbles for those summer days

Summer days wouldn’t be the same without… GIANT BUBBLES!

I have fond memories of being out in the garden with my dad as young girl, making giant bubbles from fairy liquid diluted with water, a couple of straws and some string.

It would seem the recipes shared around on Pinterest these days have been tweaked a little from when I was a kid, however I imagine the result is essentially the same: giant bubbles that your little ones are guaranteed to love!

The recipe over at Living Well, Spending Less is how to get big bubbles from a small amount of bubble solution and the classic method I remember of 2 straws and some string.

Here is what you need for the bubble mix:

  • 3 Cups water
  • 1/2 Cup dish-washing liquid
  • 1/4 Cup corn flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 Tablespoon golden syrup
  • Straws
  • String

For details on making your bubble-maker just click the link.

But you know what they say… go big or go home. A visit over to Lindsay and Drew‘s blog educated me on how to go BIG!

Here’s the list…

  • 19 Litres of soft or distilled water
  • 10 Cups dish-washing liquid
  • 2 Cups golden syrup
  • 1 Paddling Pool
  • 1 Hula hoop

They recommend letting the bubble solution sit over night for best results. And here are those awesome results…

Rock & Pebble Dolls’ Houses

Rock & Pebble is an exciting new adventure by the awesome Mr Printables - which you have to check out if you have children!

So far the brand has launched three stylish products for your little ones. And I love them all!

The first two are dolls’ houses in the shape of an apple and a pear. They handily come flat pack and arrive unpainted for you to decorate if/as you wish…

And the third is a simple idea executed brilliantly. The Dollhouse Book opens up to reveal a new play scene on each page. Your child can create different rooms per page, and prop the book up to play between rooms.

So clever!
