Sam and I have found out about a fantastic service that is run in our area which lets you borrow toys for free! There is a big white van that visits a different local location every day and people who are members can go along to the most convenient place for them and borrow 2 different toys at a time.

We found the van visiting our local park today and were very impressed. As it is the summer holidays the van team have been making more of an event of their visits and we were very excited to see one of the Library ladies there doing a story time and singing some songs. Sam got a free ‘BBC breathing spaces’ t-shirt as well as a chance to meet ‘Slimer’ the African land snail.

Unfortunately I didn’t have a way of taking home the lovely activity wall that Sam is playing with here, but I did get some good toys for Sam to have a go with which we are both very much looking forward to.
