That Little Globe was so cute! Would’ve Love one like this when I was young :)

[@SJ_Strum]

IT's so lovely! There's about 3 activities in each crate so we're still using it x

[@RomySews]

Love some of these ideas for kids, I like Louise Pentland's idea of buying pretty jars and bottles from charity shops and making 'potions' with water, glitter, food colouring etc. I also made a collage with my niece recently with old fabrics and ribbons I had and she really loved that. Another cool activity I saw on IG was making a picture on the lawn with objects from around the house, kind of like they used to do on Art Attack!

[@SJ_Strum]

Oh that Art Attack one is amazing! I always see so many potion bottles now and think of Louise! x

[@felicitydowns6651]

This video is wonderful, you’re such an amazing, strong and caring parent x

[@felicitydowns6651]

Oh and totally unrelated, we have the same jacket!

[@SJ_Strum]

@@felicitydowns6651 How funny!! xx

[@SJ_Strum]

I really enjoy making these videos and helps me be intentional as well. xxx

[@insulaarachnid]

These are all great ideas for kids. The thrift treasure box reminds me of when my niece was little, she would get various things out of the pantry (with adult supervision) and then proceed to mix them into various mixtures in little bottles. She loved this game!

[@SJ_Strum]

Yes they absolutely LOVE that so much - one thing guaranteed to keep them busy for ages! x

[@Ejcfarley]

Oh I love the tray of sensory play bits 💓

[@SJ_Strum]

It's so so nice, try and pick up some bits. It's so pretty too x

[@flurryisland6882]

they remind me of me and my brother. we are 10 years apart but we play together all the time

[@SJ_Strum]

Ah that's so lovely to hear - it's the best relationship x

[@ambergtaylor]

It was so lovely watching them playing together! Such a sweet relationship 🥺💛

[@miaglegg3493]

I know! It was so lovely!

[@SJ_Strum]

They get on really well, think it's how we survived LockDown! xx

[@group25squaredonline37]

Yes please on the mother and son book club x

[@SJ_Strum]

I'll do another video on it x

[@group25squaredonline37]

@@SJ_Strum thanks x if you come across anything aimed at single mums all the better for me :) xx

[@Gracielooks]

Lovely idea

[@mrneonet]

Screen time is the cause of most of our conflict with our 9 and 6 year old!

[@SJ_Strum]

It's hard to balance isn't it - we've had a lot over lockdown but trying to balance it more now x

[@chloejones963]

I would love to know some of the books you and Freddie are reading in the mummy and me book club

[@lalaillustrator6295]

Me too! It’s such a lovely idea

[@SJ_Strum]

I'll share the ones we've read so far xx

[@miaglegg3493]

I always find it quite disappointing that your video's that aren't baby name Monday don't get as many views! These video's are great! Deserves so much more attention!

[@SJ_Strum]

Ah thank you Mia! I don't make enough of them to keep consistent but will do a lot more now the kids are back in school! xx
