It’s never too early to introduce your child to diversity. And the launch of a new toy suitable from birth onwards this Christmas can show you how.
In a world sadly still all too familiar with prejudice based around colour, gender and disability it’s encouraging to know that 98% of those parents asked in a recent survey are fully primed to introduce activities into their children’s lives to…
I hate openly promoting brands but my 16 year old son has always been crazy about Lego. Between the age of 3 and 12 he was fanatic about his construction sets and at every opportunity he was playing with his Lego blocks. He made cars, rocket ships, boats, houses for the Moshi Monsters and even his own inventions and machinery. There is nothing he would not make actually.
In the last few years we…
We all have that person in our lives who adores all things sweet. Who thinks a meal isn’t complete without dessert and is always on the lookout for a new and exciting tasty treats to eat. It can be challenging to find new and interesting gifts for a sweet tooth. Each birthday, Christmas or anniversary, they are invariably inundated with the classic box of chocolates or artisan sweets.

In the last decade I have observed the rise of diverse toys reflecting the variety of humanity versus perfect humanity. The recent launch of Ken Fashionista Doll with Wheelchair by Mattel has prompted me to reflect about children’s imagination games using disability dolls.
It’s a great sign of changing times that the glamorous world of Barbie is now welcoming for children with…
Here’s a lovely new product by London Mums’ ‘historical’ sponsor, Slumbersac. I love everything founder Karina Grassy and her international team do. They have supported London Mums since the very beginning at the end of 2006 when our children were babies and as they both grew up so did our business ventures. Karina is a visionary entrepreneur and she has now partnered with a book to offer…
35As thousands of children across the UK have just returned to school, and with mask wearing recommended in secondary schools and higher education, how to keep youngsters safe from the risks of COVID-19 is at the forefront of parent’s minds. London Mums have tested new face masks and shared their feedback on the various masks in this blog.
The latest face masks that my son has tested during…
Half a million eye popping pocket money toys are landing in the UK today: Pushpoppers are the latest craze from the company that brought us fidget spinners, unicorn poo and loom bands. H. Grossman Ltd have made a name from second guessing what our kids will latch onto as THE playground craze year after year.
After the year we’ve all had it’s the strangely satisfying Pushpoppers…
Mother’s Day is less than two days away and for many this means a last minute dash to the shops but we have just the thing – Airtasker!
Mums have been our heroes over the past year. Juggling working from home, being teacher, nurse, cook, cleaner, even personal trainer and taxi driver – they have truly done it all!
Whilst many of us won’t be able to see our mums this Mother’s Day, it…
On 14th March we celebrate Mother’s Day and more than before we, mothers, have demonstrated to be the backbone of our society and our households having taken on up to 21 jobs every day to keep the family strong throughout the pandemic. We deserve to be treated so asking to get a full breakfast in bed this Sunday is not too much – after sleeping in for longer than during a weekday, of course.
