Maximising time spent together as a family
If the past year has taught us anything, it’s how important family is. As we move towards more positive and happier times, let’s make the most of family moments and use play as a bonding experience to create special memories for our children.We’re very excited to have partnered with Edx Education, innovators in educational toys & home learning resources who champion learning through play. We’ve selected some of our favourite recipes & Edx Education activities to cook & play together, help build family bonds and make the most of your time spent at home.
Cook together
Encouraging children to take an active interest in cooking and preparing meals is a great way to teach them about a healthy lifestyle. But time spent in the kitchen can also be a lesson in life skills. It’s easy to incorporate science, spelling, fractions and even languages into the mix. What’s more, they won’t even realise they’re learning amongst all the tasty fun!

Play together
After a traumatic year of interrupted schooling, the cancelling of fun-filled social activities and lack of quality time spent with friends and loved ones, children need some welcome relief from what has been a very difficult year. Play offers the perfect answer – not only is it great for helping kids have fun and relax but it offers the ideal opportunity to catch up on lost learning in an enjoyable and engaging way. Let’s take a look at its many benefits and how we can encourage children to make the most of playtime!
