Books or gadgets for writing/letter recognition?

Does anyone have any recommendations for reading/writing materials suitable for a 3 year old? Ones that are engaging. I’ve tried getting him to join dots together but gets bored after 5 mins!

Have you traveled without baby yet?

My husband has a work trip coming up and wants me to go along. It’s 3 days, 2 nights, but baby can’t go. I’m exclusively breastfeeding, although baby can take a bottle and I have enough milk stored up to last him. I would obviously pump while away, but I’m still concerned being away from him would affect my supply...

6 months baby entertainment

Hi, What is everyone doing to entertain their 6 month, other than taking them out. I feel like my 6 month is easily getting bored now and I am trying very hard to avoid putting sensory cartoon on. He has his playmat that he's on and passes some time with his toys but then he easily gets bored. Thanks x

MY 6 MONTH NOT INTERESTED IN CARTOONS. DOES NOT ENJOY SCREEN TIME!

So I’ve never really had my lo watching cartoons I rather him explore in different ways to learn, but I’ve noticed that twice I have put some Bluey (cartoons) on and he would watch for max 1 min and then loose interest , Is he still young or are some kids just not interested in tv ? How’s your baby with screen time?
