Eating Out
For suggestions of where to go with toddlers, we have compiled a list of child-friendly places to eat.
Making Gloop!
Mix cornflour and water and some food colouring (optional) until it forms a thick paste. It will run through your fingers when you try to lift it but if you pat it it is hard. Lots of fun for mums and kids. Very weird texture will make even big kids laugh. washes out of clothes easily and it doesn't matter if it gets eaten cos it's natural so even small toddlers or babies in their high-chair can join in the fun!
