WHSmith has a clearance sale on at the moment, and one of the items that they’ve reduced by 60% from £19.99 to £8 is the Kids Can Cook Cookie Decorating Set. 

• Cook like the kids can with the clearance sale at WHSmith

Cooking with kids can be trying, but it really is fun too. There are so many different sets on the market these days too – but this particular set contains all the things you need for a fun afternoon of baking and decorating, before you sit down to the eating.

The Kids Can Cook Cookie Decorating Set comes with a spatula, icing bag set, recipe cards, cookie cutters and a baking tray.

The silicone features are suitable for use on non-stick surfaces, and it will not crack or distort in temperatures between -40 and up to 240 – Celsius, I’m guessing.

The set is easy to clean and dishwasher safe, but they’re not to be used near a naked flame or under a grill.

Your purchase can be delivered to the store free of charge, and at home for free on orders over £15. Delivery at home is £2.89 or £3.59 depending on which option you choose.

WHSmith have some lovely deals on children's books at the moment; I'm particularly taken with these little box sets of board books for titchy kids.

Board books are a great way to introduce littlies to reading.

Developing  a love for books from early on is very important, can you imagine a life without being able to enjoy getting lost in a good story?!

This little board book 'That's Not My...' box set is a lovely touchy-feely collection of little stories; the titles are:

• That's Not My Bunny
• That's Not My Teddy
• That's Not My Monkey
• That's Not My Monster

Each page has a different texture for tiny ones to explore and I've not read a single review that says a bad word about them.

Of That's Not My Teddy:

"I have 'read' books with my son books from when he was a couple of months old, but none light up his face and make him shriek with excitement as this one does."

Of the That's Not My...series as a whole:

"Any parent who hasn't discovered the Usborne touchy-feely 'That's not my X...!' series is missing out. The amount of joy my child has had from this series never fails to amaze me."

These lovely little books as a box set should should retail for £23.96 but are yours for £9.99.

There are lots more book in the That's Not My... children's book series for you to collect too.

• Click HERE to go over to WHSmith for this deal

There were a few bits and pieces I needed to get in town yesterday. Not being in the mood for fighting with the masses, I decided to go at the very last minute - 3.30pm!

Everywhere else was quiet but WHSmiths was jam-packed! Queues and queues of fraught-looking parents and bored-looking kids, all armed with a ton of back to school bits and pieces.

Kitting out kids so they're all ready to go back to school is an expensive business, so here's a little deal that might help soften the blow j u s t a little bit.

This Hello Kitty pencil case is a triple decker beast and contains contains a notepad, ballpoint pen, pencil, ruler, set square, Protractor, sharpener, eraser, 14 felt tip pens, and 14 colouring pencils.

With the best will in the world to not reinforce gender sterotypes,  I appreciate that anything 'Hello Kitty' is a bit girly for boys. I don't know if you could buy the contents of this for less, so you could buy this for what it contains and find a more suitable pencil case that your little boy would be happy with...? It's just a suggestion.

Smiths have reduced this Hello Kitty pencil case from £9.99 down to £2.50, delivery is free if you arrange to collect it in-store or choose the Saver delivery option.
