Getting Festive With Ben and Holly

You may have noticed that the Christmas countdown has begun and this hasn't been unnoticed by Ben and Holly either. Over on their site they have plenty of activities to get your children in the festive mood whilst providing some fabulous rainy day entertainment. There is even a competition to enter too.

We were kindly sent printouts of each of the activities available. These include Christmas cards, letters to Santa, festive dot to dot and cracker making.

Ben And Holly Sticker Activity Book and DVD Review

Carrying on with the Elf and Party theme that I told you about here. This week the girls and I have had the pleasure of reviewing the Elf and Fairy Party sticker activity book.

Our Own Elf and Fairy Party

A couple of weeks ago I told you all about Ben and Holly's Elf and Fairy party. If you haven't had a chance to hold your own yet, perhaps you can get inspiration from the party my girls and I held last week.

The girls received their invitations from Ben and Holly inviting them to join in the celebrations.

Time To Party With Ben and Holly

Summer has been and gone and so has Ben and Holly's Little Explorer Challenge. But Autumn has arrived and what better way to step into the season than with a party. Ben and Holly have been throwing an Elf and Fairy party and they'd like you all to join in the fun too.

You can get started by downloading your very own Elf and Fairy party pack from the website. This pack includes recipes, colouring, invitations and decorations to make.

Things I Didn't Know About Fruit and Vegetables

Last weeks Ben and Holly Little Explorers theme was all about fruit and vegetables and I have to say I was rather surprised at some of the facts.

Did you know there are over 1000 types of apples? There was me just picking between red or green apples.

Apparenty lemons contain more sugar than strawberries. So tell me why do they taste so sour?

Eating a lot of onions can make you sleepy. Perhaps this is what I need to be eating in the evening to help me get to sleep.

Ben and Holly Live

Part of being Ben and Holly ambassadors means that we were given the chance to go and watch Ben and Holly Live, our chosen venue The Marlow Theatre in Canterbury, Kent.

I think I was more excited than the girls but in the end we all had a brilliant day out. Nannie came along with us and the day started with a train ride which is always fun, especially when Nannie buys snacks for everyone. Layla was fascinated watching everything go by out of the window.

Ben and Holly Little Explorer Challenge, Week One Insects

If you missed my post last week, I told you all about the shiny new badge on my sidebar. I am a Ben and Holly Ambassador, yay! I also explained about their Little Explorer Challenges. Each week a new set of activities are released over on their website and of course my girls and I are joining in.

Ben and Holly's Little Explorer Challenge

You may have noticed the shiny new badge that's made it's way into my sidebar. I am lucky enough to be one of Ben and Holly's official bloggers, I think I was actually more excited about this than the kids, it's ok for the parents to like the children's programmes right??

Well over the next few months I'll be sharing with you reviews of their live show, giveaways and so much more but to kick things off I want to tell you a little bit about Ben and Holly's Little Explorer challenge.
