School holidays can be challenging for parents and carers. We cross our fingers that the weather will be kind enough to let us play outside, but April is a showery month and it makes sense to have some games and activities ready for those days when we are stuck indoors.

Bid for Christmas 2013’s Hottest Wooden Toy – Charity Auction in cooperation with Reach
Some of you with culinary-minded little ones may have noticed that it’s getting increasingly difficult to get your hands on the John Crane Tidlo Country Play Kitchen.

Foraging for Fifty Pounds
The last blackberries are clinging on to their bushes, the chestnuts are falling and there are apples, damsons, sloes and elderberries galore in our hedgerows. The end of summer doesn’t seem too bad when there are so many tasty treats to be foraged along our country lanes. This week’s Wooden Wednesday competition combines two of our current passions: the Great British Bake Off and nature’s beauteous autumnal bounty. WoodenToyShoppers who watched the Bake Off last night may have inadvertently spotted some clues to the answers to today’s competition.

Win a £50 WoodenToyShop Voucher to Spend on your New Arrival
The birth of a new baby is always a special occasion and a reason to celebrate and this week WoodenToyShop is celebrating the anniversary of one such blessed event. Something like, ahem, twenty one years ago Rob’s mum, dad and brother were celebrating the arrival of a bonny new baby son and brother. In recognition of this wonderful happening and to make Rob feel a little bit more special on his big day, this week’s Wooden Wednesday competition prize is a £50 voucher (no, not one for every year!) to spend on baby and toddler toys at WoodenToyShop.*
