We’re really excited to be working again with Collins on a brilliant Back To School competition event for you; a new competition opens every single day this week, and they all run for seven days. So we’ve a mad fortnight ahead – and don’t fret if you miss a day, there’s plenty of time to catch ’em all. :)
Collins are offering a 40% discount on selected books for Back to School until 10 September 2017 when you use code BTS17 at www.collins.co.uk/Collins4Parents
As any parent knows, September’s a sad/glad month. Summer’s over, school starts… and life inevitably takes on it’s winter humdrum routine. You return from that first school run to a remarkably quiet house, and the day yawns before you, with too much work and not enough children to fill it…
But tinged with the massive mix of HappySad, there’s a lot of upheaval and organisation to work out (and the more children you have, the more expensive and complicated things get!). Spending out on learning resources for home understandably gets lower and lower on your priority list. And yet, there WILL come a time during the school year that you’ll think “I could really do with a… on the bookshelf right now”. No matter what age your child is. Yes the answer is often found on Google, but sometimes you just need that book. Children need to touch and feel and explore something physical when they’re learning – and in my humble opinion (and experience of raising four learners) no amount of internets replaces that.
So here’s Day One in our ‘Back to School Books’ fortnight – and we’re starting things off right at the bottom of the learning tree with the 3-5yr olds. Waa-a-ay down near the ground, where the learning begins.
And on Day One we’re helping you to discover the world in bright, beautiful colours with a Collins First Atlas, a gorgeous children’s wall map of the UK and a brilliant double pack of easy learning flash cards sets. And because Collins knows no pre-schooler wants to be ALL about the learning, no matter how much fun you make it, they’re throwing in a lovely set of the rather brilliant BIC Plastidecor crayons too (if you haven’t tried these yet, they’re ace – lovely bright colours and they don’t snap in firm hands like traditional crayons do!).
So go, enter – and remember to come back tomorrow for Day Two :)
