Kidstoria Personalised Children’s Books

| September 16, 2013

The lovely team at Kidstoria contacted me to see if I would like a personalised book for Imogen. It was the first time I had come across the idea of a personalised book for children. I have discovered it is a wonderful way to create a fun learning experience as well as being a precious keepsake.

The personalised book for Imogen where she is the main character of her very own story.

You have the choice of four different story options for your child’s book. These can be previewed on the Kidstoria website so you know exactly what the story entails. Each story is suitable for boys and girls and is customised with your child’s name and face.

Imogen reads ‘Imogen and the Picnic’ for the very first time. At first she is slightly surprised to see herself as a character in the story! It’s not long before she starts talking about Teddy who is sharing the picnic with her and what they are eating together.

Imogen points out small details and talks about the characters in the illustrated pictures.

Daddy reads the story with Imogen as she explains what she is doing in the story with Teddy. This is a fabulous way to encourage the great imaginations of little ones.

As well as books, Kidstoria also create personalised cards for babies and children.

Best Baby Walker

| March 9, 2012

As your baby grows their muscles strengthen and coordination develops which will lead to crawling.

From crawling your baby will start to pull themselves up on to furniture to a standing position.

The next stage is to cruise the furniture, walking around and holding on to things that allow baby to achieve the balance that is still required before they can walk alone.

Baby walkers can be used when babies are learning to walk to help with their mobility and to provide the support they need to take their first steps.

The best baby walker is the VTech First Steps Baby Walkerwhich gives your baby the support they need to take their first steps.

Key features of the VTech First Steps Baby Walkerare textured wheels, easy grip handles for your baby to hold onto when walking and a sturdy frame.

The VTech First Steps Baby Walkerincorporates a detachable learning centre full of activities with shapes, musical keys that light up and introduce letters, words, numbers, animals, colours, songs and melodies. The learning centre also features a moving butterfly, discs and rollers to develop manipulative skills. And if your baby is like mine, they’ll love the role-play phone (which will hopefully keep your phone free from dribble)!

The VTech First Steps Baby Walkercan be stored in small spaces and is easily assembled.

Your baby will have plenty of fun and play time with the VTech First Steps Baby Walkerwhich is suitable from 6 – 30 months.
