Helen and I love finding new games. It helps to keep the children motivated and it also means we don’t have to play pop up pirate 10 times a day! It can be tricky to find games for older children so I thought I would tell you about a few new finds. Wonky blocks This […]
I didn’t think that would work! Sometimes children are in and out of therapy within a few weeks. However, other times, I can be seeing a child for a long time (years). They (naturally) tend to get a bit bored and I am constantly on the look out for new games and ideas to keep […]

How’s your Christmas shopping going? Better than mine, I hope! I always refuse to think about it until December and then panic that I will never get it done in time!… Whatever is on your Christmas shopping list this year, I can pretty much guarantee that something you will end up with in the house […]
