Every July, the month is dedicated to educating more people about plastic waste and providing ideas and inspiration for changes that reduce the amount of plastic we all use. Plastic consumption is not a new topic of conversation and this awareness month has been growing every year. The detrimental consequences of plastic to the environment has been a growing concern for many years and the future of our world relies on us all making efforts to make a difference with our consumption. As all of our efforts are for the generations below us including our own children, it’s important for us all to teach our little ones why we’re involved with things like Plastic Free July and what it means! Here’s everything you need to know and some ideas to get your children involved with the conversation about plastic waste!

We’re always interested in getting children to be creative. We can learn so many things about our little ones by investing time in letting them explore and be adventurous with different mediums and different slides. Creativity comes in many forms, an art is one that can be expressed in any way that brings joy and inspiration. With Children’s Art Week on its way, we thought we’d put together a great list of popular ideas for you and your family to try out!

We’re very excited to be a part of the BuggyBaby Outdoor Playtime Guide.

Here’s everything you need to know about this guide and why we’re involved!

There’s something special about baking with children. It can both be challenging and rewarding as well as give our little ones the opportunity to start learning important skills that they’ll need in the future.

If you haven’t tried baking with your little one yet, now is the time to start! But with these little treats, which should you make and what’s the difference between cupcakes and fairy cakes?

We’re getting more and more into encouraging our children outdoors with the inspiration coming from the sun. Each day it seems to be getting brighter and warmer. All we want to do is get our children outdoors, getting that fresh air and having fun. Bike Week is a great opportunity to get together with other like-minded parents and find new activities to keep children engaged and stimulated. In this article, we’ll be discussing everything that happens at bike week!

There comes a time in every child’s growing up when we look at the toys they’ve accumulated and we have to make decisions about what will happen next with them. Our biggest priority is to ensure the happiness of our children and of course, saying goodbye to toys can be difficult but is part of the developmental process and can provide some wonderful teaching moments. In this article, we’re going to cover everything from how to speak to your child about moving toys to how to dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way!

We’re really getting into the spring and summer spirit. The British weather might be unpredictable but we’re trying to get as much time outside with our little ones as we can this year. There are so many benefits for our children, and ourselves, to be spending time outdoors.

The sunshine has a wonderful ability to help flowers grow, bloom and bring a smile to our faces and this May is National Gardening Week. Here’s everything you need to know and the benefits you and your family can enjoy this week!
