Cheeky Monsters is a new series of storybooks and cuddly toys your little ones are going to love. Perfect for preschoolers, these enchanting and beautifully illustrated storybooks and plush cuddly toys were born from the concept of imaginative play, and the many weird and wonderful characters our little ones dream up.
Each new Cheeky Monster has its own distinct personality, colour, hobbies and even horns! Choose from Violet the Superstar, Drago the Super Scientist, Rocky the Road Racer, Spike the Expert Explorer and Glitter the Disco Dancer. All of these characters have one thing in common… they’re Cheeky Monsters!
What we love about these soft toys is that each one comes with its own illustrated storybook filled with adventure, fun and mischief. These cheeky characters will inspire kids to bring the stories to life and even create their own Cheeky Monsters tale with their chosen monster.
For extra fun at home this Easter, the Cheeky Monsters’ website has free downloadable content with themed activities based on the storybooks, such as How to Build a Bug Hotel, How to Build a Rocket and lots of creative craft fun for the family!

We were so excited to see that Boots UK is launching its first ever own-brand range of reusable nappies online and instore, apparently after searches for ‘reusable nappies’ on Boots.com had grown by 1022%.
Made popular by the likes of Joe Wicks and Gwyneth Paltrow, switching to reusable nappies not only has a positive impact on the environment but also can help save a lot of money – parents who make the change can divert as many as 3,500 nappies from going to landfill and also save up to £1,400 in their child’s lifetime.
The Joolz Aer can now be used from birth to toddler, thanks to its unique cot that folds down with the chassis. The Aer is perfect for cruising around town with your newborn baby, ideal for peaceful strolls in the park, and will be your best buddy when travelling.
Ideal for naps on the go, the spacious Joolz Aer cot comes with a super comfy, breathable mattress.
Compact without compromising on comfort, the buggy’s one-hand fold is quick and super easy to use. What’s better – you can fold the Aer with the cot in situ, there’s no need to remove it first. Once folded down, the compact size and lighweight nature of the buggy means you can store it easily, or take it with you wherever you go.
Joolz will also be launching the new Aer with Cot in taupe, the perfect colour for summer adventures. With crafted details such as the stylish full leatherette handlebars and eye-catching metal logos, in either colour you and your baba are ready to make a real style statement.
With Easter around the corner, many of us will be on the hunt for Easter Eggs around the garden. But for those of us (admittedly not only children) who are dairy-free, the hunt for suitable Easter Eggs starts much earlier. Despite the growing number of plant-based eaters, with many of the biggest brands dipping their toes into veganism after another record-breaking number of Veganuary sign-ups; it is still a struggle for many dairy-free eaters to find delicious alternatives.
So, The Coconut Collaborative have got creative with their Little Pots for two simple dairy-free Easter recipes that the whole family can enjoy.
Ingredients
• 4 x The Coconut Collaborative Chocolate Little Pots
• 3 tbsp Coconut Oil
• 2 tbsp Sticky Sweetener (Maple, Agave, Golden Syrup etc)
• 200g Vegan Dark Chocolate, finely chopped
• 6-7 Shredded Wheat Bricks OR 3-4C Puffed Rice
Method
1. Crush the shredded wheat into a large mixing bowl and line a muffin tray with cupcake liners. Set both aside.
2. Heat the Little Pots, coconut oil and sweetener in a saucepan over a low heat until coconut oil has melted, then add in the chocolate to melt and whisk until silky smooth.
3. Pour the chocolate mixture into the shredded wheat and stir with a wooden spoon to evenly coat.
4. Spoon mixture into prepared cupcake liners, and place in the fridge for a couple hours to set hard.
5. Once set, fill with more Little Pots and any favourite toppings.
Ingredients
• 4 x The Coconut Collaborative Little Pots (flavour of choice or all four flavours like us)
• 200g Vegan Chocolate
Method
1. Melt the Chocolate (do not over-melt, keep to a thick consistency)
2. Thinly coat the egg moulds with the melted Chocolate and place in the fridge for 30 mins (until solid)
3. Break the top of the eggs and fill with your Little Pot of choice!
We’ve been testing out B3’s sun protection this week on the kids. It’s spray makes it so easy to apply, and the lotion rubs easily onto skin. The formula protects against UVA/UVB rays with no physical filters such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide or other filters that could induce coral bleaching or damage the coral reef.
With its very high sun protection screen and allergen-free formula, hypersensitive skins can safely be exposed to sun rays, enjoying a totally safe, effective and long-lasting protection. The product contains avocado and Jojoba oil to keep skin moisturised and protected from dehydration, while vitamin E helps to reduce free radicals to prvent the skin photoaging.

Much-loved doll brand BABY born is celebrating a major milestone in 2021 – turning 30! In honour of the big birthday milestone, BABY born is launching three brand-new dolls this season, with an exciting ‘Magic’ function, alongside a stunning limited-edition Happy Birthday themed range with outfits and accessories so little ones can host their own celebrations at home.
The new BABY born Magic 43cm dolls (RRP £54.99) comes with new magic eyes! Children can twist the dolls’ dummy in their mouth to open or close the baby’s eyes so they are in complete control of when BABY born is awake or asleep. With this new trick, the best-selling dolls now have ten lifelike functions including crying real tears, eating, drinking, and keeping mini mums and dads busy with nappy changes. With pink, purple or blue outfits to choose from, as well as boy and girl dolls, there’s a new best friend every child to take home.
An adorable count-down book by household name, Ruth Brown.
’Ten little dogs, sitting in a line, One chased a butterfly And then there were…. nine’ Then 8, then 7, and so on. The clever use of rhyme and page turn will help children guess, and then eventually learn which number comes next. Each page is a ‘spot the difference’ as you look to see which dog is no longer there. You’re not only ticking the bedtime story box, you’re also including counting and subtraction too.
The illustrations are absolutely beautiful, and in hardback form Ten Little Dogs would make a lovely birthday gift for any little one.
