A Bug Hunt in the woods!

-

We are going on a bug hunt, we're going to catch a big one! 


Today we went to Tehidy woods here in Camborne, Cornwall and we took our trusty bag (which I made from Frugi fabric) full of some of our favourite toys, perfect for a bug hunt! We pulled our wellies on, stuck our waterproofs on and off we wandered, Zach loves a puddle and in all honesty, he would've been really happy just in one puddle but we walked around and explored a bit as we were with family!
The toys we took with us!

We took our Lanka Kade bugs, Bee Happy Ned, Tickit Magnifying glass and a MDF camera shape which I painted myself as Zach loves taking toy photos!

These bugs I think may be Zach's favourite Lanka Kade range for stacking and playing with as I think they're quite small and therefore easier to balance! He loves to find a log, balance them all on it, move them along it and then knock them all off and he literally spends ages doing that! 


We also took Bee Happy Ned who enjoyed a splash in the puddles and chilling out in a tree, our other family members also loved them! His older cousins even hid the bugs around the house when Zach woke up from his nap from him to hunt around and find which was so lovely!



The real beauty about all these toys is that they're all so open ended, they all have so many uses and make amazing toys for children and they're beautifully made!

Rainbow Rice Tuff Tray

Who doesn't love rainbow rice?! Last time I made rainbow rice, I tried the white vinegar and food colouring recipe, it was great BUT it turned out more of a pastel rainbow which was gorgeous but I wanted bright! So I tried the paint recipe and it worked beautifully, my OH's cousin helped as she is with me one day a week through out the summer holidays!  We poured the rice into a plastic tub, added some paint and shook until it was all covered and did the same with every colour until they were all done and we put them in the sun on the tuff tray to dry out, turning occasionally to make sure it was all dry! Obviously if you don't have time for this, some places have it readily made  Tiny Land Rainbow Rice (7)   Tiny Land Rainbow Rice (5) I paired it with all the rainbows, including, our grant palos, Lanka Kade animals, Rainbow Ned, Walnut Ned and our Grimms 6 piece rainbow! I also used a couple of our tuff tray bits, like a small bucket and ...

For the love of Ned

Ned is our favourite toy in the house!  The day he got his Ned (Excuse the allergy shiner) We got Zach's first Ned back in January and we got Dino Ned and Walnut Ned (although the walnut was mainly for me) and it was love at first sight, he carried that dino ned everywhere he went!! He is the perfect little travel companion for Zach, he is ideal for fiddly little hands which Zach loves as he sits in the car or the buggy and as he's wooden, you can hear him if he falls HAHA! We then also got Bee Happy Ned and the rainbow Ned a couple moths later although Dino Ned is still Zach's favourite, he even takes him to bed. Ned is a very versatile toy and if you love wooden toys and haven't got one yet, then I cannot recommend him enough, he is a perfect little addition to your toy collection. He is Zach's buddy, a phone to call Daddy, he likes to wave goodbye to everyone using Ned's hand, set him up with other toys, its limitless! He loves using them...
