Let's get ready for Summer!!
We all love the Summer season - when the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, and we are ready to embrace the warmer weather and say goodbye to Spring (as lovely as it has been)!

Spring Activity: Painted Pebbles!
Getting outside is great now that the coldness of winter has been and gone. We've found a great activity for the kids (and big kids) to get up to on a Sunday spring afternoon! With pebble painting, you can get the kids involved in finding the pebbles, washing them and then designing some patterns to paint, draw or doodle on once they are dry!
We've found some fun ideas to get your brains wurling, we particularly love the ladybirds and owls!

Happy Pick Strawberries Day!
We love these little red fruits that are bursting with sweetness - with cream, in frozen yogurt or on top of a home baked pie - they are too good to resist. Today celebrates not eating strawberries, but picking them! They are of course only available in certain times of the year, but that time is fast approaching!
Why not go out as a family and visit one of the many Pick Your Own Farms around the country this summer? It's a great activity for everyone to get involved in, and encourage the kids to get their five-a-day! Once you've picked biggest and juiciest strawberries, there are many ways to enjoy them - with ice cream, melted chocolate, or making your own ice lollies!
