Children’s Book of The Week

Take Me Home.

By Mary Richards. Published by Agnes and Aubrey.

Take Me Home is the latest in an exciting series of guided journals for young explorers. Crammed with facts, lively illustrations and inspiring activities, it’s perfect for spending creative time at home – just the thing for homeschool groups, or for parents looking for interesting after-school and rainy-day activities. With this fun-filled book as their guide, children don’t need to go further than their own front door to discover new things! Each chapter is filled with activities that encourage them to explore the place where they live, jot down their ideas and draw what they see. As they discover new facts, make lists and answer questions they are prompted to look at their own home in new ways – observing its different spaces and the objects that fill it. Fun, quirky, and bursting with information about homes throughout history; architecture and design; the way things work; and inspirational artists and writers, it’s the perfect gift for curious and creative children.

BabyBoo.ie launch charity bib in aid of The Jack & Jill Foundation

The annual BabyBoo Christmas bandana bib collection has launched online to the delight of fans of the organic cotton baby and children's clothing range. Following a survey of their followers in Ireland and the UK, the baby brand with a sustainable focus launched their Christmas collection weeks before Halloween for the first time in the company's six years in business.
This year's BabyBoo Christmas charity bandana bib is in aid of The Jack & Jill Foundation. The dribble-proof bibs are popular amongst parents and also come in a larger size for children with special needs. This year's winning design was designed by 7-year old, Tess Parackal who’s little sister Lily is a service user of the home nursing care services.

With strong values around sustainability, ethical manufacturing and quality, this bib is now available online at BabyBoo.ie, priced at €5 with all profits from the sale going to The Jack & Jill Foundation.
