This has been one of the hottest summers for the last decade and the good old fashioned hand fan has been a god send! The weather has been so humid and hot that on my handy silk fan has been my most important 'must have' accessory in my bag. Not only is a silk fan unbeatable at quickly cooling you down but it looks beautiful too! They can be found in an infinite amount of designs and colours so you can either get one that blends in with your outfit or it can be a statement piece to top off any image! One wasn't enough for me, I had to have the green, the red and the white one! I have fallen so in love with these that I decided to do some research and learn more about them. History Hand fans have been around for as long as history can tell and I think it's likely that they were being used in the stone age. I am making this assumption based on two facts, firstly that the mechanism of a folding fan closely resembles that of a birds wing, and that the Chinese chara...

I honestly believed a party bag was one of the single most exciting things you could get at a party! I used to love when the children in my class had birthdays because not only did you have a really fun party to look forward to but you also had the ice cream and jelly, sweets, birthday cake, games and that all important party bag . Party bags can be done in all different styles for boys or girls. Handmade ones especially give it that extra special look! They aren't even that difficult to make... How To Make A Party Bag Now after you create your party bag you have to think about the little bits and bobs to put inside the party bag that gives it character and hours of entertainment (well atleast for the car journey home.) Obviously, these 'bits and bobs' can cost a fair amount when you're buying for about 20 children (!!) so here at Toyday we do our own little 'pocket money' toys that are ideal for party bags... Joke toys - ...

You may be surprised to find out how easy it is to make garden clay into modelling clay, so that instead of the clay being a nuisance to the garden, why not extract some and turn it into a garden pot instead! So first of all, dig down until you find some clay. I was inspired whilst laying a new patio by Blake, when he started asking questions about all the different colours in the ground, so I pulled some out of the wheelbarrow to study. Select a suitable work space, which will be ok to get wet and covered in slimy clay. I chose to use the patio floor, because it doesn't matter if that gets dirty as the rain will wash it clean! Next break off a small piece of clay, and give it a squeeze. Be careful as there may be sharp stones or flint in it which can cut your hands. spray it with some water (or pour some onto the floor) and throw the clay repeatedly onto the floor. As it dries out, add a little more water at a time. This video above was intended to demonstrate ...

Traditional toys have a timeless appeal and taking a look at the toys that boys are buying at the moment they seem to agree. Little boys (and the not so little) love a little mischief and I think that's why these classics are their favourites. I'm sure girls would love them too but for some reason they spend their pocket money on entirely different things. Our top traditional toys for boys at the moment are.... Traditional Bow and Arrow Set - £9.99 Cap Bomb - £2.99 Catapult - £2.99
