Today is the last day of the challenge and it is Showcase Sunday! I haven't talked about this fantastic series of Wipeclean books for a long time and this is the newest autumnal version in the series ☺️

Parker spent so many hours using his when he was age 3-4! Really great fun, perfect for children to learn pen control, brilliant boredom busters and of course can be used over and over again 🥰 Highly recommended that every household with young children has a few of these and with such a large selection you can theme them to your childs interests eg. Dinosaurs, Space or Unicorn!

🌍Fold out Timeline Planet Earth🌎

What a book this is! So much fun to explore as it folds out longer and longer ☺️ We had ours out on the landing today and Parker loves getting down on the floor on his hands and knees moving through the evolution of planet Earth 🌎

A brilliant way to learn! Lots of children prefer to move around or get on the floor rather than stay still in a seat and this book really encourages that fun element of education 🥰

So many brilliant facts and amazing illustrations, just perfect for exploring together or independently and I just love that there are two sides to this book! One that has the basic facts and then the other for far more detail and information ☺️

From the Big Bang to the present day, discover the wonders of our ever-changing planet as you fold out this brightly illustrated book. Then turn it over to find out how, through billions of years of volcanic eruptions, ice ages and mass extinctions, life on Earth has emerged ☺️

These fold out books really are such a superb way to learn and a fun way for children to engage with a book and reading!

Age 7+ £9.99
Parkers Books

Morning all 😊 We are back home now but Parker had such fun with this book whilst we were away I wanted to showcase it today and remind you all of this amazing offer currently running!!

⭐199 Things at the Seaside & under the sea

Suitable from age 2 but as you can see Parker really enjoyed at age 6! Perfect books for sharing with little ones to build up their vocabulary and great fun for pointing and spotting together 😊

These are part of a large range with brilliant alternative themes like Bugs, Flowers or Big Machines! They are full of bright colourful pictures, have a hardback cover and board pages so really great quality and hard wearing 😊

They are a nice size for taking out and about with you whilst travelling or on holiday, and an aspect that Parker loved is that it has glossy pages so you can use it as a scavenger hunt book and tick off your finds then wipe it all clean afterwards 🥰

I just adore these books for their simplicity and whilst stocks last you can currently get both these books for just £6.98!! That's just £3.49 per book 😮 Amazing value and such a superb addition to any bookshelf 💖
