Chess Teacher is perfect for those who are new to the game

Posted on January 1, 2022September 3, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] The game of Chess is one known to be a bit tricky. There are lots of different pieces, all with their own movements and ways about them. This barrier to entry is something that everyone struggles with, especially when new to the game. Kai has been particularly interested in Chess, as his friend plays quite a bit of it, and even joined an after school club, but the rest of us aren’t as knowledgeable in the game. When we got Chess Teacher, we knew it would help both us remember the movements and Amelia learn to play without hesitating as much.

Posted on December 30, 2021September 3, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

[Ad- gifted product] Gin is definitely the in thing at the moment when it comes to spirits. and unlike the cider fad, there are plenty of new flavours, companies and combinations coming to the table. UMODZI Gin is the latest in that long line of new gins, but it does a few things different than a lot of its contemporaries; For a start, the South African gin pulls its botanicals in from the entire continent, with its 21 botanicals coming in from 12 different countries.

MEL Science – Polarized Light | Review

Posted on December 19, 2021September 3, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

[Ad- gifted product] It’s been a while since we wrote about the last science kit that we did, the Luminescence kit from MEL. This time we sat down with the MEL Science Polarized Light kit, another box from their MEL Science Physics range, a range that’s designed for a slightly older audience than a lot of the kits out there. As I said previously, the range is really professionally made, with a clean minimalist box design and that carries through to the instructions as well.

We actually use the included instructions and keep them afterwards, but the fact that there’s a well-designed app that goes alongside the range is really cool; not only does it talk you through each experiment but it’s also needed in order to access the extra, complementary experiments that come with each box. It’s worth noting that there’s also some cool VR stuff that you can do with it, extra activities and learning, and also there’s a way to chat to the box creators about the experiments if you wish. It’s really thorough.

Top 7 Winter Bedtime Stores for Children

Posted on December 16, 2021September 3, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] Bedtime stories are always a big part of our household. Dann and myself are on the lookout for new stories to add to our library, which has been building up and up over the months. We love finding new books that fit different seasons or have various characters that are recognizable – or are just unique to our collection. Since bedtime stories get read every single night before bed, it’s good to refresh your collection and add some books that are seasonally appropriate and fun to read! Let’s get into these books

The Christmas Snowflake

This book is a new addition to our collection. The Christmas Snowflake is a book that you can personalize by adding the names of your family members to the book – where they will appear in small details in the graphics and as apart of the snowflake itself. I absolutely love books that are like this, as they feel magical and unique to our family – a book that really belongs to everyone listening to the story being read. The Christmas Snowflake is a story about a little winter snowflake who is looking for a place to call their own. This snowflake travels all around the world, playing with loads of winter animals, before finding a home inside the household of the people who currently have the book. This snowflake is so beautiful and the story is very fun.

Posted on December 12, 2021September 3, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to books, Kai enjoys reading one of two types; Minecraft or Horrible Histories. You can find both of these books littered around his bedroom and on his special shelf of books in our living room. Kai’s best friend George is a big history lover, so he naturally is always into learning more and discovering whatever he can about history. So, he was quite pumped when he got his hands on the Horrible Histories Horrible Christmas Almanac.
