Smart PJs : interactive pajamas for the bedtime story

We live in a technological world. A world where even pajamas are interactive it would appear!

Smart PJs have come up with the world’s first set of bed-wear that you can scan with your smart phone. The different sets of dots on the pajamas, or ‘codes’, will each bring up a different bedroom story, when used with an app, to read to your child…

Technology vs. Tradition

It’s an interesting idea, and one they hope will get children more excited about bedtime.

What do you think? Do you prefer this idea to reading them a regular book?

Personally, I love innovative ideas and whilst this would be a lot of fun for the occasional bedtime it would have to go along with your more regular reading for me.

I do think it’s a good idea to introduce technology to children from a young age as they’re going to be surrounded by it for the rest of their lives, and are more than likely going to be using it in their chosen profession. But I also think that sometimes it’s lovely to escape the electronics and would like to make sure that some elements of my childhood don’t get taken over by technology; reading them a bedtime story, from a regular book full of pictures where they can turn the pages, is definitely one of them :)

Tweet Toys : Wooden Classics

I don’t know if it’s because the product shots for Tweet Toys are outdoors, or because these toys are made of wood, but something about them suggests that they’re the kind of toys kids would love to play with in spring & summer. Perhaps it’s the simple, old fashioned nature of them that reminds me of my childhood; a childhood spent outdoors.

Either way I think they’re lovely. Classic and cute.

Just make sure your little one can be trusted not to replace the wooly pom poms with rocks if you gift them a catapult ;)

Pick Strawberries Day : recipe & gift ideas

Today is Pick Strawberries Day! And that’s a lovely springtime idea we can get behind over here at Belle Bébés. If the weather’s lovely enough, taking the little ones out to a farm to pick some strawberries would be a delightful way to spend the day. To find a nearby farm to you in the UK just visit this website.

Once you’ve picked them you can head home to enjoy those strawberries the good old fashioned way with cream, or you could do something a little more creative with them.

Here are a few ideas that have made my mouth water…
