Wild Foraging with Robinsons Fruit Shoots
I think I first wrote about our love of foraging six years ago, when there was an apple glut and we were about to review a juicer (handy). So when Robinson’s got in touch and asked if we’d like to forage for a new flavour Fruit Shoot, it was an easy yes for us (apart from anything else, as home educators, we’re always looking for new things to learn, and this was a fab way to get 10yr old Bear out into the woods and...

With his beloved home under threat from the notorious Chief Weasel and his gang of sinister Wild Wooders, Toad attempts a daring escape leading to a series of...
Be Safe, Be Seen – we love these Hi-Vis ActionPaks.
I find I don’t have too much trouble keeping the younglings safe as the nights draw in during Autumn & early winter; they’ve had months of outside fun, and they’re happy to be indoors more for winter pursuits. But come January they are DONE with being inside. The faintest whiff of spring in the air, and we’re out at all hours, making use of the park long after we can actually see, and heading home on...
