Orchard Toys
Christmas is all the more magical since becoming a mother. Especially this year. Now that Little N is 3 years old he understands what Christmas is about and he recognises lots of things related to the festive season, like snow, Santa, reindeer, Christmas trees and, of course, presents! It makes the planning and preparation for Christmas so much more fun for me, knowing that my little boy is brimming with excitement. To get us in the festive spirit we have been playing the Orchard Toys Christmas Surprises game which was sent to us to review.

A few weeks ago the lovely folk at Orchard Toys sent E a little package containing one of their new products for us to review. We have so many of the Orchard Toys games and puzzles in our playroom, as I think they are fantastic for encouraging children to learn through play and for nurturing their development.

When the weather is as gloomy and damp as it has been lately, we end up spending a lot of time at home. With Noah at nursery school and us stuck indoors, it's a good chance for me to spend a bit more quality time with Jude. He's really taken a shine to learning about colours and numbers lately, which is quite clever for a two year old I think, so I really want to encourage this. I've always been keen on learning through play, as I'm not someone who has the patience to sit teaching my children with flashcards and I don't think it's fun for them anyway, so Orchard Toys are games that we really enjoy.

What do your children like to do on rainy days? When we're stuck at home on a rainy day like today my boys love to get their jigsaw puzzles out, build railways with their wooden train sets and get the arts and crafts out. One of the new products from Orchard Toys is their Giant Railway, a 22-piece floor puzzle, and they've also got some fantastic colouring books that come with stickers to go on each page. The boys have had a great morning making railways and colouring in!
