Winnie The Pooh Mouse Mat £1.99 @ Play.com

Winnie The Pooh Mouse Mat £1.99 @ Play.comI promise I haven’t gone mad in bringing this Winnie The Pooh mouse mat to your attention!

I don’t expect you to buy one and for it to take pride of place on your desk – mind you, my ex-mother-in-law is a HUGE Pooh Bear fan and she DOES have a Winnie the Pooh mouse mat at work!

No,  the reason I’m highlighting this deal here on PlayPennies is because mouse mats make for GREAT drink and place mats for kids!

I found that small drinks mats were tricky for the kids when they were really little and just getting to grips with the whole drinking from a cup thing, let alone trying to get it square on a mat that’s only just bigger than base of the vessel they were drinking from.

Shame, their poor little faces when cups tipped over because it was too far over the edge, so all hail the mouse mat as a place for littleys to put their cups!

Winnie The Pooh Mouse Mat £1.99 @ Play.comBut with Pooh Bear and Tigger smiling up at them from the table you shouldn’t have too much of a problem getting cups put on there and an end to sticky cup rings on all over your tables; yippeee!

This Winnie The Pooh and Tigger  mouse mat should be £7.99, but has been reduced to £1.99 by those lovely folks over at Play and they don’t charge for UK delivery either.

See? There was method in my ‘madness’ *grin*

Megablocks ‘Winnie The Pooh’ Pirate Ship £7.99 @ Play

Megablocks Winnie The Pooh Pirate Ship £7.99 @ PlayOh this little MegaBlocks ‘Winnie The Pooh’ pirate ship is just toooo cute!

I adored Winnie The Pooh as a kid and whilst I’ve stopped feeling the need for Pooh Bear duvet covers and cushions, I still have a soft spot for him and loved reading his stories to all the children when they were small.

Tigger was always my favourite, Kanga and Piglet were a bit wimpy I thought and Rabbit was such an anal old thing!

Tigger, Pooh and Piglet are all included in this MegaBlocks ‘Winnie The Pooh’ pirate ship set and your little ones are going to thoroughly enjoy fitting all the pieces together.

In true MegaBlocks style, they are brightly coloured (which kids love) and there are just the right number of pieces so they won’t get bored before they’ve finished, and won’t feel cheated when it’s built in 2 seconds.

Megablocks Winnie The Pooh Pirate Ship £7.99 @ PlayAll of the pieces fit together as one big pirate ship OR they can make up four smaller boats which actually float, so they can be played with in the bath too – got to love ‘multi-tasking’ toys!

Play have reduced this MegaBlocks pirate ship from £24.99 down to just £7.99 and UK orders are delivered for freeeee!

Disney Bedtime Buddy Microwaveable Warmers @ Amazon

Disney Bedtime Buddy Microwaveable Warmers @ AmazonI’m in love with these Winnie the Pooh ‘Bedtime Buddies’

Now don’t ask me why they’re all different prices because they all started out at £24.99 and quite frankly, I don’t CARE!  All I know is I’m totally and utterly smitten with these guys.

I’ve loved Winnie the Pooh as a kid – although Tigger and Eeyore were my favourites, so it’s going to be a tough call as to which one I’d choose.

I’m also a big fan of these microwaveable bed warmers – no filling up hot water bottles, no worries about them springing a leak in the middle of the night and all the other concerns that go along with them.

All of my kids have bears that go in the microwave – my daughter, at 14, still adores cuddling hers when it’s warm (don’t tell her I told you, she’ll go mad!) and my youngest has a sheep…he’s called ‘Smelly-Lambkins’ (don’t ask) and is much-loved.

Disney Bedtime Buddy Microwaveable Warmers @ AmazonIf you’re unfamiliar with these things, basically they have a bag of wheat inside that heats up when you put them in the microwave for a couple of minutes.  PING! and two minutes later you have a warm and toasty bedtime friend to cuddle.  By the way, they don’t just have to be used at bedtime – I’ve often used mine for chilly late-night journeys home in the car.

Right, down to some important decision-making: Tigger or Eeyore?

Winnie the Pooh Baby Days Book £5.57 @ Amazon

Winnie the Pooh Baby Days Book £5.57 @ AmazonThere aren’t words adequate enough to describe how much I adored Winnie the Pooh as a kid!

If you’re expecting a baby, or you know someone who is, then this little ‘Winnie the Pooh Baby Days’ book is an absolute must and at less than six quid it’s not going to break the bank, but trust me when I say the memories and treasures it will come to contain will make it priceless.

Time passes so quickly.  40 weeks of pregnancy can feel like a lifetime but there’s a lot going on and lots that you can record in the early pages of this book, there are places for the earliest photos of your not-yet-new-arrival – scans!

Winnie the Pooh Baby Days Book £5.57 @ AmazonAnd when the baby HAS arrived time shifts into a whole new dimension again and the milestone events are frequent, fleeting and fast – the first smile, the first sleep-filled night, the first giggle, first tooth, first word, first steps!

The thing with firsts is that there’s only ever one of them and it’s easy to forget them as the years tick by and the milestones become bigger – the first bike, first day without stabilisers, the first day at school!  So whether it’s in this book or not, take it from one who’s been round this block three times…take lots of photos, write everything down, capture every precious memory and then ENJOY!
