WIN 1 of 2 Bubbles the Dragon Books

This wonderful rhyming story from author Alison Thomas, is the perfect read to teach your children about the importance of being kind to others, accepting their differences, and learning to love who you are. The book really promotes positivity, inclusion and diversity in a way that appeals to the younger generation with fun illustrations to match.

"Bubbles is a dragon who is a little different from the others. The other dragons laugh at him from afar because he looks a little different to them. However, although Bubbles knows what they are saying about him, he isn’t going to let that stop him from doing what he loves to do - Zooming around the sky!

One day the other dragons suddenly see Bubbles zooming up high above the clouds and even though they start out with making fun of his appearance, slowly they start to see a strength within him that ignites a new emotion - acceptance!

Summer Snack Ideas for Kids

With summer on the horizon we will soon see the return of regular dining al fresco, BBQs and picnics at the park but deciding what is best for little ones to eat can be tricky at times. 

Getting the balance right when the kids may be fussy to feed can be difficult but hopefully these healthy snack suggestions will help...

Get Creative

Letting the kids join in when it's time to prepare and cook meals can often encourage them to try new foods. Pizza is a great way to be creative in the kitchen and if you let them help make the dough and add the toppings they may select some vegetables without persuasion as the bright colours can be so appealing. Pizza is delicious served hot or cold, it's very versatile, so you can eat it immediately or pop it into your wicker baskets to take out with you on your travels. If you're in a hurry you can save time by using muffins, baguettes or tortillas as bases and if you want to sneak some extra goodness in make your own tomato sauce.
