Imagine 'For Just One Day'........

Books are always an easy treat for me to buy the boys when we are out and about; and while shopping the other day online at Kido Store I discovered this beautiful new book by Laura Leuck with the divine illustrations by Marc Boutavant....my favorite children's illustrator of this generation! Buy it online here .

A delightful story about imagination and the wonderful game of pretend every child loves to play.

Flynn and Arch had a friend, Ned, over the other day after school and all three sat down to read 'For Just One Day' for something to do. They spent ages elaborating on the creatures in the book.....and making up new things to be....Monsters, Aliens, Spooky Ghosts and Space men! I think I even heard Archer claim 'I want to be Captain Shaggy!'. 

Most likely due to the fact they were sitting in their super comfy Monster Couture bean bags .....Ned put a dibs on being 'Bat Star' and Flynn decided he didnt care as he was the 'biggest Monster of all....Giant Scary Monster!'

With beautiful illustrations to further inspire the imagination 'For Just One Day' is a must for the Santa Sack this Christmas, try Cocoon Couture for their delightful range of Santa Sacks.

Packed up in time for Christmas!

No need to worry about the gift box this Christmas! All our wonderful Monster Couture kids bean bags come in a great gift box.

Designed by the packaging gurus at Fluidgroup (aka Ingrid's clever husband Clif!). The Monster Couture bean bag gift box is specially designed with 100% recyclable cardboard which has been printed with vegetable inks. The impact on the environment has been carefully considered; you will notice from the front of the pack that our little Monsters are in full view but enclosed 'behind bars' so as not to escape. This feature is uniquely designed to avoid using plastic in the pack which is traditionally used in window fronted packs. 

Complete with a little warning to be careful 'they might bite' the Monster Couture kids bean bags make a fantastic gift for this Christmas.

Monster Fun with Snakes and Ladders

I just had to share with you this exciting find from our Sunday afternoon clean out of the games cupboard! Clif's mum had lovingly saved this Giant Snakes and Ladder game from when he was a child back in the early 70's. It is just beautiful with its colours and original art work from the Jigsaw Educational Toys brand. With a little search on the web I discovered to my delight that Jigsaw still exists and is still true to their retro flavour...if you are wanting to buy the new version of this giant snakes and ladder game visit their site here .

We had a ball playing the game and a few tears too....the boys are still at an age when going backwards too many times in a game can prove to be a bit too much! As our Giant Snakes and Ladder game is made from paper and lovingly taped up in some areas it might be time to invest in a new plastic version as i dont think I can bear for it to be ripped any more.

We kept it relaxing by waiting our turn sitting in our Monster Couture bean bags ; Bat Star and Captain Shaggy were playing too! A fitting role play as the boys kept calling this their Monster game....and ended up loveing the snakes even though they took them backwards in the game...poor Captain Shaggy lost his turn and Bat Star ended up the winner!
