Play, relax and repeat with Ickle Bubba’s Stella Rocker

Looking for a restful rocker that keeps your little one entertained? Play, relax and repeat with Ickle Bubba’s new Stella Rocker, a lightweight, adjustable and comfy rocking seat that’s made for soft, soothing, sensory fun.

Switch between two modes: the rocker mode to help lull and soothe little ones as they rest, or static mode for when they’re ready for some stillness. With three adjustable recline positions and a five-point harness, you can relax knowing the seat is set just right for your child’s comfort and safety.

Keep bubba entertained and stimulate their senses with two sensory toys: the scrunch-able crinkly star and a shakeable jingling moon! Just hang the toys from the adjustable toy bar to keep fun always within reach. Plus, sensory play assists brain development, helping them to learn and explore the world in new and exciting ways.

One Button and the Sea, Sara Stanley, Viviane Schwarz

Through collaborative story telling, a child and his grandfather explore a traumatic experience they have shared.

‘Grandpa, tell me the story again of when we went to sea. That’s a BIG story, One-Button.

How does it begin? It begins with the uprooting . . .’

And so Grandpa tells the story of how he and One-Button and their whole community were uprooted from their everyday lives, and how they all had to take to sea in different boats. Until one day everything changed, and they were able to return home and resume their previous lives…different, but the same.

Too Snappy to Wear a Nappy, Lillias Kinsman-Chauvet

This lighthearted tale highlights the absurdity of nappies as seen through the eyes of a child.

Too Snappy To Wear A Nappy features rhyming text ideal for reading aloud. Enhanced by the adorable and humorous illustrations, it is certain to make parents and children giggle and want to share the laughs.

Would you dare put a nappy on a bear? What about a crocodile or a giraffe? A flamingo would be a no-go and a rhinoceros would be preposterous! But what about a human child?

Too Snappy To Wear A Nappy comes straight from the imagination of Lillias’ two-year-old son, whose playful idea became a catalyst in leaving nappies far behind and running wild and free.
