Toys for Babies and Toddlers

Toys for Babies and toddlers alike

Right from the very beginning,  the helpless little baby barely able to open their eyes to see, right through to seeing your little one growing up into a toddler……time fly’s for sure.

So now is an excellent time to look for baby toys, brightly coloured and with different textures to grow the mind and stimulate it.

Some great baby and toddler toys for one-year-olds, two year olds, three year olds, four and five years olds can be found on the 4little1s.com website. These toys for  children include:
 
- Deglingos
- Wooden Toys
- Soft and cuddly toys

Squashy, squeezable and clicking toys……. Look for toys that make a clicking sound like some of our wooden toys, or toys that make a sound when you squeeze them. The sounds all help you babies associated hearing and mental growth. They also assist in babies / toddlers grasping skills.

The old favourites of wooden or metallic cars and other vehicles always need a mention but just ensure they DO NOT have any small bits that can come off and choke your child. Children love to put things in their mouths.

Building blocks are my favourite and our little ones enjoy building structures of great height only to then watch them come tumbling down. Something that will entertain them for hours in their bedroom.

When the snow comes….

Winter Family Ideas

If you are like me, the thought of it getting darker earlier and dark in the morning when the alarm clock goes off in the morning, doesn’t fill me with joy. Well getting outdoors and doing an outdoor activity with the children is an excellent way to flush out those Winter blues. If you as a parent get involved in an outdoor activity, it is more likely that your child will also become more physically active as they grow up.

Just because you are all responsible now, mortgage, credit card (s) and all grown up, doesn’t mean you cannot still get out there and have some snow fun.

Well here are a few ideas, how about:

Hide and Seek – Try hiding something, anything, anything at all and let the kids try to find it in the garden. The great thing about snow is that something could be right in front of you but with snow over it, it’s invisible!

Become a tracker – When it snows you get to see all the tracks of the animals in your garden. See if you can work out what it was, a squirrel, a cat etc.

Play ball – You don’t have to wait for the sun to shine to play ball. In the snow it’s better; the ball doesn’t bounce quite so far if you miss the catch. Have a game of football and you really are in for a treat, make sure the ball doesn’t turn into a snowball. Finally – not a ball game, but ever tried Frisbee in the snow ?

• Sledging – Remember as a kid the sheer excitement of sledging down a hill, hat and mitts on and a very cold face, so cold your nose was red ! It was great fun, so when it snows, get out there and have some fun.

Roll snow – Make a snowman, see how big you can make him / her or challenge the kids to see who can make the best one.

Finally, as my ski instructor used to say

‘ Just make sure you avoid the yellow snow!’

Famous Baby Question….

Will I have a baby boy or a baby girl ?

There are plenty of old wives tales that have been passed down along the years, doing the rounds about how to tell if your baby is going to be a boy or a girl. Here a few of them, but do be aware these are old wives tales and not medical fact. I am just listing them for fun !

· If baby has a heart rate of less than 140 beats per minute this means a boy, if it’s over 140 beats per minute it’s a girl.

· The bump is high then it’s a girl…..low and it’s a boy.

· Morning sickness = girl.

· Active baby in there = boy.

· Sweets craving = girl, salt craving = boy.

· Wedding ring or needle suspended over your belly moves circular pattern = girl. Back and forth = boy

Luxury Luxury Baby Gifts for little ones

LUXURY BABY HAMPERS

It is quite likely that at one point in time someone you work with will be leaving to have a baby on maternity leave. Everyone in the office will want to say congratulations and usually an envelope goes round to put some money towards a baby gift and a card for you to sign.

If you are the person who now has to buy the baby gift, consider a BABY HAMPER from 4little1s.com, practical and can be put to immediate use.

I am pretty confident that they will have lots of flowers already from family and friends, so why not consider a baby hamper as something a little different. Not only do they look impressive, they offer a very practical gift for the time ahead. Unlike flowers, baby hampers and baby bouquets (baby bouquets look like a bunch of flowers but in fact is a bunch of clothes made to look like flowers) will last longer and will be actually used in the little one.
Baby hamper and baby bouquet gifts come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colours, styles, themes, arrangements and budget. Send round an email with a link to the baby present you would like to buy for the person leaving on maternity and this gives people a focus / target to aim for in the collection. In fact, you will find most people are quite happy and willing to contribute as long as someone else is arranging it all ! Charming I'm sure, but the reality of life.
If the person plans to come back to work a baby hamper also offers a practical solution as the initial excitement from everyone else will have started to flow away, but a nice new gift from work will bring a smile back to her face for sure.
Baby hampers really are something of a special baby gift and will be remembered amongst all the other gifts that will have been given. Buy a gift that stands out from the crowd, buy a baby hamper or a baby bouquet fr4om 4little1s.com TODAY

Pregnant and Trying to Sleep

Night Night Baby…..

Having a baby if nothing else will have a major impact on your sleep (?) patterns. Getting sleep with a little baby in the house is hard and sleep becomes a valuable asset to seek out. But even before that, getting sleep while pregnant is also not an easy task to achieve.

You are not alone in this, most pregnant mums experience the difficulty of being able to have a really good night’s sleep.

As your little one grows inside you, the levels of Estrogen, Prolactin, and Progesterone start to cause havoc with your body and being able to get a solid night’s sleep.

Sore Breast is another common cause for a disruptive night’s sleep followed by visiting the bathroom more often than before. You can thank Progesterone for that !

Let’s not forget Nausea / vomiting of course

Fortunately, this is only a phase and once you reach the 2nd trimester things get a little better – at least for the night visits to the bathroom that is ! Snoring sometime occurs of which you can thank Estrogen levels swelling your nasal passages !

Unfortunately the 3^rd trimester isn’t the ‘best’

· Heartburn,

· Increased need to urinate

· Sinus congestion

· Cramps in your legs

…………………. and just the impossible task of trying to find a comfy position to sleep in, will all fight against you to get a good night’s sleep.

Well all of this doesn’t sound too good, so what can you do ! Well from my own experience I have found the following helpful.

• Have a regular planned bedtime
• Try not to nap during the day
• Exercise
• Cut back on the coffee and tea (you should really cut back totally!)
• Bath
• Soft music
• Read

Hopefully this should result in ……………………zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Body Matters When Pregnant……

‘Pregnant mums usually fall into 2 trains of thought’

Positive - from start to finish - let go ! Rather than hide my body in maternity clothes, I want to show it off.....now where is that photographer ?

Not so positive - Err what's going to happen to my body and will it ever be the same again ?

But hey, don't forget there are some added benefits to being pregnant that you don't always realise.

Pregnancy is the ultimate disguise for pretty much everything you don't like with your body.Although the disguise only lasts for none months of course - Hips looking too big? large belly ? Breasts small, - All these can be blamed on good old ' I'm pregnant, what do you expect ?'

As most the changes and marks left on your body afterwards are only going to be seen by those people already close to you, it's not worth stressing about them.

Stop concerning yourself so much with hair loss, when you are pregnant your body doesn't shed hair at anywhere near the rate when you are not pregnant.

Fashion and design rules don't always apply when you are pregnant. Experiment and give some other designs and pieces a go. Even have a look and try on some of your partners clothes, jumpers in particular.

When you are pregnant you get so much more attention from other people. You feel like a star with a career of none months. Enjoy it ....unfortunately it won't last DARLING !

Baby Hampers - Special Baby Gifts

If you are looking for something practical or even maybe something a little more extravagant, new mums always think back to their first special and precious baby gift. Some baby gifts can be used as soon as they arrive back from the hospital, some even arrived while in the hospital, other baby gifts can be used later on, once everything is a little more settled. Of course there are also the baby shower gifts that were given to the 'mums to be' well before the event !

Some very well organised mums even register their baby gift list with a retailer (like a wedding list) so family and friends can buy for them without the worry of replication of gifts or having to return them.

Many mums speak to us and tell us of the BABY HAMPER or BABY BOUQUET they received from us, either at a baby shower or after the event and how beautiful they were. Baby hampers and baby bouquets not only look good as a baby gift, they are very practical as they contain lots of clothes that will certainly come in use.....

Some mums really appreciate gifts that pamper them......look for our PAMPER HAMPERS. We think mums deserve to have a break after going through childbirth, and these Pamper Hampers really hit the mark, giving new mums the chance to take it easy, even if it's just for a few minutes.

Other mums really appreciate gifts that entertain their new arrival. Look for bright coloured toys and if possible with different textures to help baby learn and recognise colours and textures. Baby gifts that also make noises also help with baby development. We stock a number of WOODEN PUSH ALONG TOYS that many mums report back to us have helped their baby and has entertained for them many hours.

Look out for the baby gifts that are lovely but not very practical in reality. Well meaning friends and family may well think they are helping but quite often it's a case of getting through each day, a day at a time. China tea sets and the like are lovely but not just now.
