Sensory Play with Bubbles
Playing with bubbles is a simple and exciting game for babies, toddlers and children that helps to develop awareness of their senses. I love this game because it combines sensory play and the great outdoors which are important learning experiences for little ones.
If you’re looking for ideas on sensory play with your baby or child head over to The Imagination Tree which is one of my favourite blogs and a great resource for parents.

Baby Laptops
Looking for a laptop for your baby to keep yours free from dribble and sticky fingers?
Here are some of the best baby laptops for entertaining and educating baby with a variety of music, shapes, colours, numbers, sound effects and the alphabet.
Each baby laptop is suitable for different age groups to provide the right level of learning and play.
The LeapFrog My Talking LapPup is suitable for ages 6 to 18 months. It makes learning fun as the puppy’s face lights up and its mouth animates whilst singing and playing with your baby. It’s useful for on-the-go play and provides opportunities to explore shapes, counting, opposites and colours. Baby can lift and close the lid for an interactive game of peek-a-book with the puppy.
The VTech Baby’s Laptop is suitable from 9 months and helps to develop your baby’s early sight and recognition. It mimics adult laptops and has a light-up screen with play, teach and object modes, different sound effects and shapes. The 8-way click-tick mouse and buttons help to develop fine motor skills and it’s a great introduction for baby to early computer skills.
The Peppa Pig My First Laptopis suitable from 2 years of age. It teaches colours, numbers, ABC, expressions and musical instruments in a fun and interactive way. There are also 4 game modes and 6 backlit illustrations for your child to play with.
Lamaze Octotunes Octopus
We love the Lamaze Octotunes Octopus toy.
This musical toy is a large, bright yellow, smiling octopus with eight tentacles that each play a different musical note when squeezed.
The Lamaze Octotunes Octopus toy has brightly coloured tentacles in a range of colourful patterns and textures to attract the attention of babies and toddlers.
It encourages a wonderful session of imaginative play, whilst also incorporating developmental learning through touch, sound and vision.
Your baby will love playing musical tunes on the Lamaze Octotunes Octopus and it is vanilla scented for the delight of babies (and parents alike)!
Lamaze Octotunes Octopus incorporates a brightly coloured striped carry handle on its head so your child can easily hold and carry with this toy.
The Lamaze Octotunes Octopus is suitable for ages 0 to 2 years.
