I’m finding the 4pm - 7.30pm bit of the day is really dragging now that it’s cold and dark outside. I used to go for a walk with lg in the pram or go over to the park but can’t do that as much now. What are you all doing to keep your little one entertained before dinner and bed?

I have a nearly 7 month old and a 2 year old, now the weather is getting colder and the parks are freezing 😂 does anyone have any days out ideas? I worry with play areas as my oldest isn't big enough to play on her own but I cant carry my 7 month old round a wacky warehouse 😂

I used to take him to playgroup but in winter i don’t like to take him as he always fall sick when i do. But it feels so long when we don’t do outdoor activities.

My child is 7 and has no friends outside of school. What clubs do you recommend to connect with new people?

Today at playgroup my little boy was playing with a bunch of plastic shapes. He likes collecting things right now and putting things into piles of the same category, so he was running around collecting all the plastic shapes. But there was probably about 30 scattered around in total and he was only playing with 6 at...

My parents would like to get my 13 month old a learning tower for Christmas. Does anyone have one they can recommend?

Thinking of taking my son for his second birthday. Is it worth it or better to wait til he’s older? He loves trains and transport and we are going to get the train there to make a day of it.

Has anyone brought a yoto/Tonie player for their little one? Thinking about it for Christmas as my little girl loves music and dancing and they have cards with nursery rhymes/classical music/ballet songs which I know she would just love. My concerns are that even though it's no screens it is technology and so far al...

Wanted to explore some toddler classes but literally ALL of them ( I've looked at different types) are on weekdays!! How did they not have classes over the weekend? How do they expect us to take our toddlers when we work?😭I feel like he will miss out 😞

I'm getting my babies first passport, and I'm worried it's going to take more than 3 months . We're going away first week in March.

It's my husband's first birthday as a dad in December! He's had a pretty stressful time at work recently. I'd love to do something special for him to make this birthday memorable. He does so much for our family so want to find a way to make him feel loved. I'm having a hard time thinking of things to do with our 7 m...

We made the mistake of introducing Disney while our little one was sick and now he wants to watch it whenever he can. He will throw a small fit when we shut it off. Any advice on how to become screen free again? Or fun activities to do?

My LB is turning 5 in a few weeks and I have no idea what to do for his 5th birthday, I want to make it special as 5 is a big one but feel like I’ve done so much with him already. Would love some ideas/inspiration-preferably a day out in London somewhere. Currently he is obsessed with anything train related.

Just wondering what other mums do when you have a spare hour(s) or even the day to yourself. 🤔I’m a pretty busy and social person so just wondering what you all do. I find I busy myself with chores or watch tv

Hey, my son's teacher emailed me informing me that my son showed his private parts in health class. This is very shocking to me as he's normally well-behaved. As anyone experienced this before? Need advice on how to treat this situation

What’s some indoor activities a 12 month old would be interested in ??

I’m trying to teach my daughter ABC & 123 and she is not interested. She rather do it with Ms. Rachael! She likes when we read together, but playing she wants nothing to do with me. Should I be worried???? #FirstTimeAt38

We already go to the park, sometimes the library. Looking for other fun things to go with kiddos who are under 2 years old.

What are some of your littles favorite toys or things you are getting them?? I have so many things in my cart but don’t want to get him something he won’t play with I also want learning toys help!

What is everyone doing with their 6 month old during the day to keep them entertained? Like are you with them playing or doing something every second they are awake, because I feel like I am so that he doesn't start crying or when he is sitting up I put pillows there but feel like I have to be near just incase! And ...
