LOLA Art Boxes are the most wonderful way to introduce creativity in your family. Every month, the talented @lotsoflovelyart team assembles everything you need to create three artist-inspired projects, including an introduction to the artist, recommendations on books or artworks to discover and galleries to visit, plus of course ALL the high quality materials you need to make a true masterpiece. Ava loved this craft project so much, and a subscription to LOLA art boxes is the number one thing she is asking for Christmas! You can buy the one-off boxes, but also choose to get one delivered to you every month (or two months). There are boxes for children aged 6 plus, but also ones that are perfect for smaller children (3+). The craft ideas are always original and clever, the materials are of great quality, and every detail is thought of and included. These boxes are a great gift! If you are in London for the ShopUp in two weeks, you can meet the LOLA team personally and check out their amazing boxes in person. They will be there both days!! @theshopup @estherbabyccino #sponsored #art #artforkids #makeart #babyccinocrafts

Time for some baking? Head to stories and choose a delicious Autumnal recipe from our top fifteen! #babyccinokids #babyccinoeats #bakingwithchildren

Conker spiderwebs! This is an oldie but a goodie, perfect for a weekend craft, manageable for little hands but also extremely entertaining for bigger ones. And it’s quite an addictive thing to do! You’ll need : Conkers Wooden skewers Any sharp tool like pointy scissors to make a little hole in the conkers Yarn Scissors Make 5 evenly spread out holes in the conkers. Push the skewers in the holes so they are tightly inserted. Choose a yarn to start with. With a flat knot, secure the yarn around one of the skewers. Start weaving by twisting around each skewer before you go to the next one. If you want to start a new colour, just knot the yarn around a skewer to secure it, and tie the new colour to the next skewer. Keep going until you’re happy. Lovely idea from @estherbabyccino #conkers #babyccinocrafts #babyccinokids

About a year ago, Courtney shared a selection of Wilkie’s favourite picture books, many of which are still on rotation as his favourite bedtime reads. But he’s beginning to enjoy the slightly longer stories now. She snapped a photo of his current go-to books, most of them he can pretty much read to himself because he’s read them at least 100 times! What are your favourite kid books for nearly two year olds? @courtneyadamo

We love open-ended, evergreen and heirloom toys here at Babyccino. Shannon recommends these beautifully made wooden vehicles from @faguswoodentoys which her children love. They are sturdy, clever, and so pretty to look at. More on our blog! @slcorlis #babyccinokids #babyccinoplays #evergreentoys

Do you carve out enough one-on-one time with your kids? https://babyccinokids.com/blog/2019/06/13/parenting-spending-time-with-each-kid/

An old article, but so interesting! This article explains that 'the family unit is built on the mother's oestrogen', 'the menopause is a very dangerous moment in a family's existence' and 'The moment when the 'mommy brain' starts to unplug'. And of course -- 'as with all change, we can all come through it stronger and more fulfilled, and as happy as we were before!' :) https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/jan/22/menopause-mother-family-oestrogen

HELLO LONDON!! Three Peas, the charity which is helping refugees stranded in Greece, is organising a live art auction in South West London: https://threepeas.org.uk/art-auction/ The charity patron Axel Scheffler (!!) will be drawing live and his work simultaneously auctioned. There will also be more detailed, coloured artwork by Axel and works and prints by other illustrators, including Bethan Woollvin, Penny Dale and Tor Freeman, as well as other ‘grown up’ artists, painters and sculptors. It’s going to be a lovely relaxed evening - even if one doesn’t intent to bid!- in a magical location on the Riverside in Twickenham. All good things!! 🙂 See attached flyer. ❤️

Check out the cool vibes of our Shop Up event in London in December!

Our 2nd live shopping event in Brooklyn was amazing! Great shopping, delicious treats, tons of kids activities and a super cool family photo booth!

Esther shows us her recipe for delicious mint syrup.

Our live shopping event in London at Chelsea Old Town Hall in 2015 was a big success and so much fun.

Here we show you how to harvest rhubarb from the garden, and make it into a delicious compote. If you make oatmeal at the same time, you have made a delicious and nutritious breakfast that your family will love! (Ours do!)

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!

Our first live shopping event in Brooklyn was a great success. We loved seeing the best boutiques under one roof, combined with great food and fun activities...and some dancing! Hope to see everyone this year again on September 18th & 19th at 501 Union, 501 Union Street in Brooklyn.
