Win a family ticket to the opening day of Santa’s Christmas Wonderland at Paultons Park, home of Peppa Pig World
Esther and William are really struggling to settle to sleep since starting big school
I think because they share a room, they keep talking to one another about their day
To help their bodies and minds be still for sleep
We have started building guided visualisations into our bedtime routine
They seem to work
A few nights ago I was leading them through a visualisation from Relax Kids
Called The Wishing Star
They were asked to say out loud what they would wish for
Without hesitation, in a loud, clear voice Esther said
‘I wish to go to Peppa Pig World’
I hope that we will have the chance to take her their one day
I think it would make her little heart sing
And her smile shine so so bright
But for now though I am not offering it to my own family
I am able to offer it to yours
I am able to offer you the chance to win the dream
The wish of many four year olds
To go to Peppa Pig World
And meet Father Christmas there
With Christmas just around the corner, I have teamed up with family theme park, Paultons Park to giveaway a family ticket to its Santa’s Christmas Wonderland.
The festive season wouldn’t be complete without a visit to its sparkling winter wonderland, complete with a snowy grotto, where animated characters, including Rudolph and Donner the reindeer, sing and dance.
Alongside all of this, children and parents can wander through the world-famous Peppa Pig World at Christmas with twinkling illuminations, step into Paultons Park state-of-the-art 4D cinema to experience a Christmas adventure film and enjoy the Park’s enchanting new hand-crafted Victorian carousel.
And to make the journey truly magical; children can meet Santa Claus himself and receive an exciting present.

Friday saw the last day of the school week
The last day of our pirate week
And we celebrated with a very special pirate lunch
We have been experimenting with Bento style lunches
And over the coming weeks will be sharing with you
Some of our themed lunches
With accessories from YumBox and the awesome Eats Amazing
Esther and William love their ‘pretty lunches’
And are looking forward to taking them to show their friends
At ‘big school’
After lunch Esther and William had some free play time
In our rather splendid new sandpit from Germany (review coming soon)
And their Pirate in a Tin sets from Beebies Baby Store
It was a hot and sunny afternoon
Esther and William could not wait to sink their feet into the sand
And start digging
William consulted his fabric treasure map
They both buried their fabric treasure to dig it up again
They dug with spades
Filled their buckets
Made marks with their hooks and their swords
They had a truly wonderful time
A great way to unwind
From a busy day at big school
After a good dose of free play in the sand
We sent Esther and William to run around the garden
While we hid some treasure in the sand pit for them to find
We wrapped wooden blocks in silver foil
Blocks and foil from our earlier Pieces of Eight Invitation to Play
5 green, 5 red, 5 blue
Esther and William had to find the treasure
And sort it by colour into piles
They really enjoyed their task
Aided by Ami from Beebies Baby Store
Though it was harder to rediscover the treasure
Than we had hoped and planned
It was a very very hot day
And once all the treasure was found
It was time for pirate stories and tea
In a shady spot in the garden
Beside our pirate ship
What a lovely way to end our day
Our week
Our wonderful pirate week
The books we read every day this week will be shared in our Pirates Book List on Beebies Baby Store Blog soon
On Thursday our Pirate Week continued with foil painting This for us was sensory art or process art We were not trying to make anything in particular But we wanted to see what we could do How the paint would … Continue reading
