Christmas is the best time of the year to me! Anyway that it can be celebrated I will embrace it, which is why I couldn’t wait to share this super cute item from Orchard Toys! Kindly gifted to me, I worked with the children at the nursery my mum works at to put it to the test. And boy did they love it! Find out what festive fun happened here!

Good Morning Lovelies, 

If you are like me then you will have got those festive feels already! I’m so in love with this time of year that I love to celebrate it anyway that I can! Including sharing my admiration for it with the little ones in my life. In fact, I love to share it with anyone! 

As we edge into the middle of September, the Halloween vibes are spreading. The costumes are in the shops. The fake blood is ready to be donned. The sweets are getting ready to be handed out. And everyone is getting excited to celebrate! Yet, I’m catapulting everyone around me one step ahead to Christmas!

When a special parcel landed on my desk, I was in awe of the sweetness that was inside. Fresh from Orchard Toys, the team have created a super sweet Christmas advent calendar type activity book that I loved. 

With my mum having worked in a local nursery for over a year now, I wanted to share my love of what I had been sent, therefore we spreading the festive cheer early with the children she works with. 

My mum has been helping the children to learn colours, numbers and patterns. So, I decided that the daily activities in the book were perfect at teaching them, whilst still being fun.

Copying the images from the book for each child, me and my mum witnessed them having a whole ton of fun. On each page, they had the chance to add fun stickers, which are included, whilst completing activities that include colouring, counting, adding and answering quiz questions. Every single page has something on it that makes you:think and learn. It’s also a very easy to store advent calendar that can be saved for years to come. 

Orchard Toys are fantastic at making pieces that represent this and I know the nursery will continue to build their collection of them. At £4, it is a great book to buy and have at home too during the festive season. 

Orchard Toys are a brand that you can truly feel safe with and I can guarantee that you will find something to help your child or ones you know on their website! Even at 30, I learnt something new from the festive pages! And as they say, every day is a school day, which makes these even more special for all the family!
