My four little monkeys... in Imps&Elfs
Imps&Elfs is by far my favourite Dutch jeans brand. I just love the way their trousers fit -- they're just so flattering, and so cool! My kids also find them the most comfortable ones to wear -- they pick them out of the clean laundry basket before they're even folded and on the shelf. Imps&Elfs recently designed ...

Cut-off Jeans
This is such a simple idea that I am almost a bit embarrassed to write a post about it, but I was so chuffed with my discovery about how to make my girls some shorts that I am going to share anyway. My children, like everybody's children, grow way too quickly, and at the beginning of this ...

ESP No1, jeans the way they should be
I have been a fan of ESP No1 since their very first collection. They make nice, simple, unisex jeans without anything too trendy or fancy about them. Their Spring/Summer collection included cute cotton tees which I quickly snatched up for my kids, and this season they've made some great Grandpa Cardigans which are so cool. ...

I don't think there is anything more frustrating in life than waking your child up in the morning, trying to get her to dress in a hurry in order to get her to school on time... and then being told: "I don't like that outfit!" This is not a debate to be had at 7.30 ...

Super skinny jeans...
My daughter inherited my long and skinny legs. Now, I understand that long and skinny legs shouldn't be complained about, but most women know that there's a downside to everything (am I not right, curvy girls?). Well, the downside to having long and skinny legs is that it's very hard to find long and skinny ...

Diesel Straight Leg Jeans from Mini Wardrobe
My second son gets all the hand-me-downs from his older brother, which means that every single pair of jeans he gets comes with holes in the knees.  Poor kid. I recently got him a brand new pair of Diesel jeans (pictured) from the newly launched webshop, Mini Wardrobe... and now at least his knees are ...

ESP No.1
How cool are these jeans? I recently got them for my boys, and now I'm wishing they came in my size! The jeans are part of the Autumn/Winter collection at ESP No.1 -- a New York City-based company started by a husband and wife team who discovered a lack of great, well-made unisex clothing. The ...

Little Rivet Jeans
If I had to name one wardrobe staple that my kids and I cannot live without, it would have to be our denim jeans. Sure, there are items I love more but I doubt there is an item of clothing more durable, more versatile or more enduring than a pair of well constructed denim jeans. ...

Patch your jeans
My kids tear their clothes like it is going out of fashion. I'm constantly finding scuffed-up knees on their jeans, torn tops and unexplained holes on the seats of their pants! The fact is: kids are always going to tear their clothes. And while the ripped jeans look has never been my thing, I am ...

No rhinestones, no cargo pockets, no fade-marks... amen!
Is it just me or is it really difficult to find jeans for your kids that are simple, traditional blue-jeans?! (You know, ones that aren't overly styled in an attempt to be trendy). I don't like baggy, I don't like big pockets, I don't want some ugly design on them... and I don't really want ...

Chirp chirp! These fingerprint cards are super easy and quick to make so if you are in need of a last-minute Easter card read on. ⭐️ You will need: Yellow water colour paint (water and a paintbrush to mix) Plain white card folded in half Black felt tip pen Orange felt tip pen (We found water colours worked great but any yellow paint will do). ⭐️ Mix up some yellow water colour paint, dip a finger into the paint and then place firmly onto the front of a folded piece of card. Repeat and cover the whole card with yellow fingerprints leaving some gaps for the feet and beaks. ⭐️ Once the paint has dried add some little black legs and feet, a dot for the eye and an orange beak. The beaks look great all pointing in different directions. ⭐️ What we love about these cute cards are their randomness. It’s such a simple idea that children of any age can get involved. Anything goes here, long legs/ short legs, big beaks/little beaks!! We guarantee they’ll look great in any style and they will definitely bring a smile to a loved ones face. #babyccinokids #babyccinocrafts #eastercards @soloskates

Decorations that don’t waste too many precious cooking ingredients... yes please! We love this simple salt dough recipe!🧂 1 cup flour 1/2 cup salt 1/2 cup water 1. Preheat the oven to 120 °C and line baking tray with baking paper. 2. Mix flour and salt in the bowl then gradually add water, stirring until combined. 3. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface, roll out until about 7mm thick and transfer to baking tray. 4. Then all you need is an egg-shaped cookie cutter, which is easy to find at this time of the year. Cut them out and make a hole in each about a centimeter from the top edge. Bake on 120C for about three hours turning them once after about 2 hours. 5. Now paint both sides with one color or each in different and wait to dry completely. 6. After about an hour you can draw your favorite designs on the eggs (again, one or both sides). 7. Leave for about 12 hours or overnight to dry and finish them with glossy varnish. (Clear nail polish works nicely.) 8. Now just string the twine or a fishing line through holes and you’re done! 9. Place on branches or hang around the home. 10. Enjoy! 🥚🧂 More Easter ideas in our bio! #babyccinokids #babyccinocrafts #eastercraftsforkids #saltdoughornaments

How can we manage worrying information around our children? Today’s blog post looks at these ‘unprecedented’ times. With news reels, articles, conversations, not only between adults but children too that are hard to ignore. It is impossible to shield our children from the worries and events of the wider world, and important to share some truths with them about what is happening. We are, as Maria Montessori put it, “Citizens of the World” and our children will be the ones to inherit it. Being in lockdown, (hello to everyone at home!) can make for a really good environment to nurture discussion, as we have time to drip feed explanations, observe reactions and unpick tricky questions. There are some simple ways we can help stem and support the flow of information, manage anxieties and make sense of the world around us all. So today we have tips in our bio, so click on the link and share with loved ones. And please stay safe. #babyccinokids #explainingcoronavirustokids @themontessoristudio

The Dictionary of Difficult Words by Jane Solomon is a great hit. It is filled with over 400 whimsical words which continually amaze us ... words like ‘bumbershoot’, ‘spaghettification’, ‘hurdy-gurdy’ and ‘ombudsman’ are carefully described and fantastically illustrated by Louise Lockhart. I mean how cool is the word ‘hurdy-gurdy’?! Read more about the book on today’s blog. #babyccinokids #babyccinoreads @vanessa_wild_flours

We’ve had a full-on week with home learning (as you all have I imagine) and managed to survive (just) the week in the house together. But this morning I felt we all needed a little time out from the work and we did maths through baking by making these delicious cookies. They were out of the oven just in time for a mid-morning brain break. I think we’ve tried every recipe for chocolate chip cookies but this is our favourite and today I thought I’d share it with you. I must warn you, they are not the healthiest, but during these times I think we are all in need of a little treat. Thanks to @vanessa_wild_flours for this idea ... and click on our bio for her yummy recipe! #babyccinokids #babyccinoeats

This gym bag is such a fun and easy project, also for beginners this is a nice sewing project. Esther, Emilie and the kids had so much fun going to the market choosing all the supplies. The fabrics from Little Cube are the cutest!
