OUR PICK OFF THE SHELF
My Mum Goes to Work by Kes Gray
Sure this is a picture book for children, but it’s also a book for Mums everywhere who juggle work and parenthood and probably a side serving of guilt occasionally. Realistic and reassuring, this sweet book will leave your little one in no doubt that even when Mum goes to work, she loves them SO MUCH!
Buy it (with free delivery) from www.thebookdepository.co.uk
HOT IPHONE APP FOR LITTLIES
ArtRage
Here’s a budget-friendly tip – get your kids to make original art for your home! ArtRage is an art app that allows them to transform a blank canvas with chalk, pencils, markers, oil paints and more. There’s no paint spatters to clean up after and if they create a masterpiece, you can export them as high-resolution PNG files to print out and display.
Buy it for $1.99 from iTunes
