Everything is "lellow" to Ollie.​

I realised that a lot of the learning activities I have posted, are often more geared to Sammy, who is almost 4. ​So we played a game especially for Ollie and his love of "lellow".

The Eat Me Sticks Game!​

I had a packet of coloured lolly sticks left over from Sammy's birthday last year and stamped, with some mini alphabet stamps 'eat me' on the ends.​

I put the left over sticks in a drawstring bag.​

I filled 5 corresponding coloured cake cases from my Bento Babies supplies, with food that matched the colour.​

• Blue - Blueberries
• Green - Broccoli
• Red - Raspberries
• Yellow - Cheese
• ​Orange - Carrot

I stuck the stamped stick in the top and then the boys had to pick a spare stick from the bag, one at a time, and eat something from the correct cake case.​

Whilst we didn't get any new words from Ollie, they did eat some really healthy food and he got to experiment. Such a sweet boy deserves lots more posts.​

I have seen the Bath Artisan Market's pretty poster flying around the internet all week. ​

Birds, bunting, prettier pastel fonts and a free children's activity. Sold to the family from Weston desperate to escape another afternoon at a soft play.

If you have never had the pleasure of hearing about them, this may help.​

Just so you know for next time, (they are open every second Sunday of the month) the market can be found in Green Park Station.​

​Under the glass roof is over 60 local designers, vintage sellers and makers and a variety of tempting food and drink stalls. We headed straight to the mobile wood fired pizza stall via Box Coffee, a converted 1920's horse box, for a couple of "babyccinos" and promptly order two pizzas in quick succession!

This market is a culinary and crafty feast. We did a first, second and third lap just in case we missed anything! The best thing is each month there is a different free entertainment stall for children. This month was free screen printing by Happy Inkers. 

It was lovely to see the boys so interested in the process (well Ollie was glued to the colouring table really) and the ladies behind the idea, offer a party package as well! ​

What I loved, is that every month, one free stall is given to showcase the talents from the University students. This month was Night Knitters, a fabulous company selling lovingly knitted bunting, cup cosies and all sorts of loveliness.​ I couldn't resist these shrink plastic earrings.

It was a pleasure chatting to the organiser as well as meeting the brains behind Bristol Magpies Markets. ​Make sure you check out their Facebook pages here and here. 

We ended our afternoon in Bath with a play in the actual Green Park!​

Even though I could have bought the world, I didn't pick up any vintage treasures this time, although if I had a space for the bright green bookcase I would have bundled it in the boot! I did have a rummage through these glass bottle stops earlier in the week, at the local charity shop. Bet you can't guess what crafty project I have in mind?! ​

I've felt like I have been on a discovery treadmill this week. One thing has led to another, that led to another and so on. ​

I love reading blogs and always flick through the bloggers recommended websites to visit. Chances are, if you love what you are reading you will be captivated by their choices. You can find my must reads here.​

Discovery no 1.

Crayon Creatures - an ingenious (if a tad pricey) way of turning your children's artwork into figures. But wouldn't this be the most wonderful keepsake?

Discovery no 2.

Pearl and Earl.​ OH MY GOODNESS. This is now my number one posh party website.

I mean for crying out loud how darling are these floral straws and the giant balloon fringes?! I NEED a reason to buy one of these! Check out their blog too - loads of curious things to read. 

Discovery no 3.​

Undressed Skeleton. A foodie blog with sprinkles. ​I love this post on healthy gummy bear, perfect for little eaters. 

Discovery no 4.​

The Mint List. It dares you to dream. Dream of a world where you can afford such treasures. A sweet lady got me onto it and now I can't stop lusting.​

Discovery no 5.​

The ecojot blog. I am a big fan of their illustrations and bought a few notebooks and a couple of journals when we visited America in February.​ I'm going to use this journal as a photo album of our trip. But I started reading their blog this week and I am obsessed. Take a peek. 

I hope you all had nice weekends. Did you make any discoveries?

We are still waiting for baby b to make an appearance. I guess I am going to have to wait a little longer to be an Auntie...​
