Penfold's Table Manners

I always knew Danger Mouse and Ninja Express had something in common....

Grandparents' Interview Questions

My grandma may not know much because she has dementia, but for your grandparents there are plenty of interview questions to ask them! It's not grandparents day, but these questions are probably best suited for a video call or your next visit.

I.B.F.Fs At Grandma's House

Luna, Sophie, Zura and Fang love visiting their grandma's house, because there's biscuits, cakes and fairytales all around. One day, on the eve of a sleepover, Fang refuses to go because there is a party in the neighbourhood, and all the local kids are coming along. Sophie tries to teach him about how important Grandma is to him and the whole family.

Waitivity - The Baby Club

The Toddler Club premiered this week, and if there's one suitable thing to accompany this new series, it's the original and best Baby Club. Join in at home as parents, carers and their babies explore everyday objects through discovery, play, song and story.

Healthy Carrot Pancakes With Yogurt

If there's one thing Little Giraffe likes for breakfast more than toast and jam, it's freshly cooked pancakes with strawberries, bacon and sometimes maple syrup! There's a healthier option - carrot pancakes with yogurt to match! Make these with your little giraffes - you'll be glad they had a healthy breakfast.

Cloudland Update - 7.4.22

After a day-long, (almost) stress free break, I'm back onto Cloudland! Today's story is all about a little giraffe who prepares breakfast all by herself, then plays at running her own breakfast cafe. It's a sweet, charming story, much like the other stories in the book. I'm reusing the illustration I originally made for my full-length book, so there's no need to do them today. By the way, starting this weekend I'm doing the activities next, because weekends are best for doing activities. The four activities featured in the book incorporate the themes of mindfulness, perseverance and listening. See you then!

Birthday Book Bash - Dear Grandma Bunny

Sorry to keep you waiting, but today's story is a little sad, and stars everyone's favourite rabbit, Miffy. Please watch with a heavy heart and an open mind.

Bad Blood

Hi! Resus here. Sybil attempted to watch CBBC this morning, but the amount of stress caused by watching the Secret Life Of Boys is too much for her. So, instead, we interrupt regular programming for her favourite CBBC show of all time - Scream Street! And this is one episode starring me that you love to see - Bad Blood, starring my grandpa! Don't watch The Toothfairy though, it's not hula-wacoola.

Waitivity - Zenimation & Star Wars Galaxy Of Sounds Senses Game

Next time you watch either Zenimation or Star Wars: Galaxy Of Sounds, close your eyes and focus on the sounds you can hear. Watch it a few more times, describing what you can smell, see, touch and feel in each scene.

Four young tigers - Tyrone, Tess, Thomas and Terence - make a rocket so they can pretend to go to the moon. But the pretend starts to get a bit real...
