It can be hard though to keep buying new toys and games to keep yourself and the kids occupied and happy so today I wanted to bring you a fun giveaway.

AD | Post contains gifted items and affiliate links (marked with *) Spending more time at home at the minute means that we are doing more things as a family. John is working from home so gets a lunch break and is also ‘home’ earlier than he would be if he was at the office. We are also spending loads of time together at the weekends but we can run out of ideas sometimes, especially if we’re stuck inside on a miserable day. Luckily, Spin Master have come to the rescue with a selection of games for the whole family.

Encouraging Education Through Play

AD | Paid collaboration For some time now we have been spending a lot more time at home as a family and we are keen to keep up Erin’s education before she is due to start Reception in September. As none of us are teachers, and really don’t know much about what a 4 year old needs to learn, we turn to online resources and shops to help us out. This is also a great time for family members to order gifts online, when they might not be able to see someone in person. The thing about education is that

By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Gifted Erin doesn’t always have the best concentration and usually doesn’t want to sit down to play long, complicated games with us. This is even worse at the minute thanks to being stuck in the house a lot and not being able to go out and have adventures. We’ve been looking for smaller activities to do with Erin and we were recently sent a Backseat Games Tripack which includes Suitcase, Plates and Sounds. As we don’t drive, and couldn’t really go anywhere at the minute anyway, we can’t play one of the games so I won’t be writing

Family Fun With WordSearch

AD | Post contains gifted items and affiliate links (marked with *) Like everyone else, we have been spending a lot more time at home over the past few weeks. Being at home so much, having our routine thrown off and trying to fill the time can be really hard. We’ve been very lucky to have been sent some wonderful games to keep us busy, including WordSearch from Goliath. I always think of the paper version of this game so I was curious to see how it would transfer to a board game setting. WordSearch is a game aimed at anyone
