The girls were kindly gifted an amazing Skye n Belle The Ultimate Activity Subscription box and it’s literally been keeping them entertained for weeks! The current theme is Farm and it’s packed full of activities that have all been designed to encourage your children to learn through play. There are so many exciting crafts, books and activities to chose from that the girls didn’t know where to start!
The great thing about Skye n Belle The Ultimate Activity Box, is that you can let your child choose a different activity each day and drag the fun out for weeks. I wanted to share this activity box with you and give you a peek at what’s included. If you’re struggling for ideas on how to keep your children entertained during lockdown, this subscription box will be a lifesaver.
Farm Jigsaw & Sticker Book
I must admit I’ve never really encouraged the girls to do puzzles. Bella is at the perfect age for it now and she really enjoyed putting this 36 piece puzzle together. She really loved working out what piece went where and she was so proud of herself when she had finished it.
Johnsons Little Gardeners Sweet Strawberries
Bella has been desperate to grow her own strawberries, but this Mama is terrible at any form of gardening, so we’ve never gotten around to it. This Starter Pot for Little Gardeners by Johnsons is such a great idea, you simply peel off the lid, give the compost a stir, sprinkle the strawberries seeds and water and voila you’re good to grow!
Build Your Own Bird House
We were all full of optimism and excitement at the thought of building this bird house but let’s just say that Mummy’s patience and DIY skills had left the building, so we are saving the build for when Daddy gets home. This set includes everything you need (except screwdriver) to build your very own Bird House and there are even paints for you decorate it. Bella’s expression sums up Mummy’s lack of DIY skills!
Storybooks
Both of the girls love reading and this Titus Troublesome Tooth is now one of Bella’s favourite books. I always use Titus as an example now whenever Bella asks for sweets or refuses to brush her teeth, I say “do you want a toothache like Titus” and it works like a charm. The girls also love Fox on the Farm. These two brilliant books are also included in The Ultimate Activity Box.
My Giant Colouring Pad Farm
This giant colouring pad is brilliant! The pictures are nice and big so it makes it easier for children to colour in the lines. Obviously being a two year old, Flo’s colouring style is more erratic, but she enjoyed herself. This colouring book is also big enough for siblings to share.
Crafts
The Ultimate Activity Box includes a wallet with farm themed crafty bits in it. One of the activities included are, two farm themed pages and stickers for children to create their own scenarios. This is a great activity for encouraging little ones to use their imaginations. There is also a sand art activity.
My First Writing Book Farm
Bella is really enjoying learning her letters and practicing writing, so this activity was right up her street. I love these my first writing books, they are perfect for preschoolers and they really do help teach children their letters. Bella is always so proud herself when she’s completed each word.
Puppet
The girls loved their The Puppet Company Bird Puppet. Bella had great fun tickling Flo with it. Flo’s face was priceless, when I first pulled it out of the box, she had the biggest smile on her face. Puppets are great for encouraging fine motoring skills, learning through play and of course imaginative play.
Convertible Playbook Farm
The girls absolutely loved this Convertible Farm Playbook. It’s such a genius idea, it’s not only a storybook, it then pops up as a 3D play mat. You also get farm themed card characters, that you pop up and slot into card so that they can stand. The girls played together for ages.
