90's kids programmes

Cartoons and T.v programmes in the 90's ( when i was little ) have changed a lot compared to the children's cartoons today. Looking back at the cartoons i used to watch brings back great memories, many of these shows are not on T.v anymore. For example..  Johnny bravo   An American animated t.v series starring a muscular young man named Johnny bravo who likes to think of himself as a bit of a womanizer. Typical plots involve trying to get a woman that he had targeted to try and fall in love with him. Personally i thought the best bits were at then end when the woman knocked him back in various funny ways. Premiered on cartoon network on July 7, 1997 and ended August 27, 2004. Sabrina The Teenage Witch One of my favorites! I loved watching this programme with all the dramas that came with learning new spells and being a witch in high school. A very fun magical programme. September 27 , 1996 - April 24, 2003 Sailor Moon Not to sure...

The Storms Coming

Image
As many of you may have heard, the weather is not looking very good for the next few days, with the biggest storm many of our little ones will have seen. Many children can find storms scary, especially the first time they have to experience one. Why does it have to be a scary experience? Make it a fun one by making things, playing game and having fun into the night. Here at today we have lots of fun craft projects and board games that will make your children forget about weather outside altogether. We have, for example, Cornwall Monopoly Game Scrabble And Vintage Snakes and Ladders Game

Christmas Wish List

Image
Ok, so my excitement for Christmas has already kicked in. I think it kicked in during the summer time... But now it's actually socially acceptable to look forward to Christmas, as it's only 60 days away! So, for all you parents/grandparents out there, you know, at the end of October, it means one thing- the Christmas lists. I've already had lots and lots of children pointing at items in the shop, saying 'I WANT THAT FOR CHRISTMAS' with the parents having a look of stress/fear on their faces.   Not only are the Christmas lists (for the parents) being written but so are the Father Christmas wish lists. It can all get a bit hectic, and although it's a wonderful time, it's also very stressful when it's left to the last minute! Get a letter from Santa / Write to Father Christmas I went on to Pinterest and found some lovely Father Christmas list templates for children . Print them out and get your young ones to start writing what they...

Balloon Modelling Madness!

Image
So i am here at Toyday in Looe, town is a little quiet so i look around the shop and think to myself what demo can i have a little play around with.. when i spot a Modelling balloons kit! Within seconds i had bought myself a kit, ripped open the box and was studying the instructions. Which are very clear and simple to follow. I decide to go with the easiest balloon model for my first try, so i attempted to make a balloon dog. It didn't go so well, i hadn't left myself enough balloon to finish off the hind legs and tail. Second attempt went much better and i found myself staring in pure amazement at the little balloon animal i had just created!    After a few more practice runs ( 5 balloon dogs later ) i decided to move onto something i felt was a little more challenging. A balloon flower! Three popped balloons later i had success. I cannot explain how excited i was making balloon animals, i felt like i was seven years old at Christmas time again.
