Very niche question but does anybody have the talking woody from the Disney store? My little boy really wants a talking woody for his birthday (his is 20 years old handed down from my brother and doesn’t talk anymore). I bought one from vinted but it only says a few things and it’s not the ‘right’ things. I just wan...

My son is going into Kindergarden in a few months. My question is, are your kids overly hyper and don’t listen well? If so, how do you and their teacher handle it?

Has anyone any toy recommendations for 8months plus? My LB loves lights, wheels, pressing buttons, obviously chewing and balls. Just looking for some new toys that might interest him that we haven't got already! Thanks!

My 3 year old just refuses to do anything with writing or coloring. I've introduced crayons and coloring books since she was 2 and she never cared for them. Since she'll be starting 3k in September I wanted to teach her to write her name. Kids in my home country are taught to write their names before they go to scho...

My nieces always get gifts from the Easter bunny. Obviously our little ones are toooooo little for Easter eggs etc. any suggestions on toys or books for this age? Doesn’t necessarily have to be Easter related.

As a single mum, who doesn’t drive and is on low income, i feel so restricted in things to do with my 14mo! its hard to get to places, events etc and i feel like im just stuck at home with my LO with not much to do! are there any ideas on activities i could do with her? things to do etc that doesn’t cost too much ...

Feel like I should be doing more than just tummy time and black and white cards for him, I also sing songs to him but can I be doing more?

Please can anyone recommend baby classes? Either free or to pay for? We are based in Hedge End area but happy to travel! Thank you ☺️

Any advice on what I should take/necessities for travelling?

I haven't been on a plane since before covid and have never taken our kids (3 and 1) on a flight. We are flying out of Dublin. How long before the flight do you recommend we get there? I was thinking 3hrs but no idea if that's long enough for dublin? We would have usually flown from belfast

anyone else let their toddlers play video games? IF YOU DO: do you prefer they play old school games or modern games?? (my 4 year old non verbal autistic son becomes verbal when he plays old video games so i let him)

Open now until 10pm lol

I just feel like i can't be bothered to set up activities and sit on the floor and frequently demonstrate how to play with toys such as a shape sorter, blocks, stacking rings, simple puzzles etc. I feel like he's so behind on these skills bc I couldn't be arsed to teach him and now I feel bad as it's my job to teach...

Cannot believe all our little ones are going to be TWO soon 🥹 I’m so late in getting my son presents as I’m really struggling (we have an older son so we have alot of toys already). But can everyone give me some present ideas or what you are getting your little ones for inspiration. Thank you all 💜

Any suggestions on books about feelings for my little boy? 🙂

Any recommendations for toys to take on holiday abroad? Ie. Toys that are small but keep them entertained for a while!

A Nintendo switch has been suggested as a birthday present for my little boy, do you think it is too young? We’ve looked and a lot of the games start from 3 years…I was personally surprised by this. Is anyone else thinking of getting one or have any other suggestions for birthday present’s please

Anyone want to share some simple craft activities their kids enjoy? Doing crafts while in hospital is one of the small joys my son has. In preparation for our 5 week admission I'm trying to prepare craft kits to bring with us so he can do as many as he wants instead of just 1 per day. I'm looking for simple and no...

Hi all! We are going abroad with our LO, and he will be 11 months when we go. We are flying with Jet 2 and we are able to take 2 pieces of luggage; a stroller, a car seat and/or a travel cot. I obviously need to take a travel cot as we are staying in a villa which doesn’t have one. I definitely need the stroller...

Let me know what your little ones favourites are. Currently re-doing garden and would love to make a space for LO
