Potty Privacy

 

Would you want to go to the toilet in the middle of the room with mum, dad, brother, sister, nanny, granddad, the dog and the goldfish all staring at you with eager, watchful eyes? ….No, didn’t think so!

 So it’s no wonder your little one may be a tad self-conscious when trying to relieve themselves on the potty.

Luckily, your performance shy kiddies can keep their modesty intact with this amazing new creation by Pirouette Cacahouète which will help all the little ones feeling the pressure to do their business, and makes potty training heaps easier (for Little One and for Mummy).

 Ma Cacabane is a private cubicle which is beautifully illustrated inside and out, by illustrator Marie Paruit. It comes in seven fun colours, including Bubble Blue, Candy Pink and our personal favourite Sweet Blueberry. Measuring 112 x 60 x 59cm, it can also double as a playhouse or a den to provide hours of amusement once your petit potty user has achieved their potty training goals. Ma Cacabane is a snip at €36, and can be purchased from Pirouette Cacahouète’s official website here.

Back To School Craft: Pencil Toppers

With the new school term approaching, and the weather looking distinctly non-summery, the team at Alexandalexa.com have been working to find you the perfect activities to keep the little ones entertained.

This week we have found this fantastic pencil topper craft on Kaboose.com which will keep the kiddies entertained whilst also giving them reason to look forward to the start of school. Let your little ones get their creativity flowing by creating different zoo animals, a selection of flowers or any other shape their heart desires!

What you will need-

 -sheets of coloured foam

-scissors

- glue

-pen or pencils

-any decorative extras (we recommend sets of wiggle eyes and pom-poms).

 

How to make them-

-Cut 2 identical shapes in the foam, glue around the outside of 1 of them, leaving a gap for the pencil

-Glue the 2 shapes together and leave to dry.

-Decorate the foam to create animals, objects or just pretty shapes. Using glitter, sequins, pom-poms, other pieces of foam or wiggle eyes, glue them onto the foam shape.

-Once the glue has completely dried, push the foam figures onto any pens or pencils.

-Finally take your newly decorated stationary to school and make all the other kids at school green with envy!
