Christmas gift ideas

In case you're looking for some ideas for Christmas, here are a few thoughts that might be useful.
​
The Story Museum, Oxford - Well worth a trip to Oxford, if this doesn't make your child fall in love with books then Santa will eat his hat! It's an experience I loved with my children. We made a weekend of it and went to the Ashmolean Museum too which is particularly child-friendly. Mine had just read Beetle Boy when we visited and there is an awesome beetle collection. It's cooler than it sounds!
​
The 'Ology' books - possibly the most stunning book series I have come across. The detail is outstanding and they contain all kinds of pop-outs, envelopes of secrets and hidden treasures. One of these would make a special gift and keep your child busy for several hours.

Other book suggestions - I have reviewed several books over the years (scroll down) and I also like the lists on this page which are compiled by children, teachers and parents. Books2door offer great deals on book collections and I recommend all children read some of the easy classics.

Finally - make sure you have a pack of playing cards at home for these maths games or you can also use a pair of dice for these games.
