A few weeks ago, Elizabeth reviewed the Minimal Pairs app from Therapy Box. You can see her review here. Today I’m going to review another of their apps – Sort It Out. I was given a free copy of this app to review but the views contained here are all my own. The first thing […]
Play is a really important skill that children need to learn and practise. It helps with language and vocabulary development, sequencing, creative thinking, attention and listening skills, social skills, turn taking – I could go on! You can help your child’s play develop, whatever their age. You don’t need hundreds of expensive toys; you just […]
On Monday we took our 3 year old daughter to the theatre to watch Room on the Broom and other tales by Julia Donaldson. She loved it, and it was obvious that many of the others did too. If you live in the UK and have children, I don’t think Julia Donaldson will need any […]
Rebecca Bright from Therapy box very kindly contacted Helen and I and offered us two of their apps to review on our blog. This is a review of the minimal pairs app, and Helen will be reviewing the sort it out app in the next few weeks. Although Rebecca very kingly gave me a free […]
