Downloadable Picture Card - Fruit

Recently Maxwell has been having speech therapy. At speech therapy they often use picture cards with Maxwell and I wanted him to benefit from using some at home. I searched the internet high and low for some picture cards which would fit into our routine at home however I was unable to find any so I decided that I would make my own downloadable picture cards. I have decided to make this into a little weekly blog read for my readers and I hope to start sharing 1 set of picture cards every week. At the present moment they will be basic but as time goes on I plan to make them harder. For the first set I created, I decided to focus on fruit.

Downloadable Picture Card - Fruit

This picture card would work perfectly for not only children with language delays and developmental delays but it would also be fun to take to the supermarket. This picture card can not only act like a learning tool but it can also act as a game. Why not use at the supermarket to spot the fruit down the supermarket aisle with your children?

If you would like to download this week's picture card you are able to download it from here. Once downloaded the picture should fit onto A4 paper when you go to print.

I am more than happy for my readers to start downloading any picture cards I create for Maxwell and every week I shall leave a link to any picture cards that I create however all that I ask is that no-one copies my work.

Blackberry Picking #31daysoffun

For our last day of our 31 days of fun we decided to stay close to home and go down to the bottom of our garden. Having recently moved into our home, we have found some great things about it. Our latest find was a lovely free supply of blackberry's which came as a lovely surprise as Maxwell simply adores eating them. 

Once the sun had gone down, Maxwell and  I crept down to the bottom of the garden with a bowl each and we picked handfuls of blackberries. Not all were ripe so I had to keep a beady eye on what Maxwell was putting in his bowl. Maxwell kept eating the blackberries and it was clear he was enjoying himself.


After 10 mins of picking we decided to head back into the house. We both had enough blackberries to last us the next few days.  Although the blackberries were free, I did not want to be greedy and take to many, I thought it would be nice to leave some for another day.

Maxwell and I both washed our blackberries and ate them as a treat after our dinner. We had a great time picking our blackberries and we enjoyed our free desert. I would be interested in making jam or a crumble with the blackberries in the future. This is a free activity which any one can do - there are plenty of blackberries growing in the UK. The public can easily access blackberries for free on the street, in gardens or even on  pick them in places such as parks.

Yu! Healthy Snacks Review

Are you looking for a healthy tasty snack?
Something perfect for lunch boxes or a great snack between meals?

I am always looking for healthy snacks for me and Maxwell to enjoy. Recently we were contacted by Yu!. We were asked if we would like to try their range of products. Me and Maxwell jumped at the chance to give them a try.

The first thing I noticed when we received our bag of Yu! treats was the packaging. I thought it looked great. It had a eye catching design which would be suitable for all ages. The packaging is black and has a green frog on it. A really nice touch about the packaging is that the frogs feet are the same colour as the fruit content in the pack. The  blueberry flavoured Yu! snacks frog has blue coloured feet, pink for strawberry and red for cherry items.

Me and Maxwell had a great time trying the Yu Fruit treats. First off we tried the Yogurt-Coated Fruit Pieces. They are tasty fruit bites covered in a creamy yogurt coating, containing real fruit and real yogurt. We found them to be delicious and the ideal treat for Maxwell. They were a perfect snack to put in his changing bag. They were very sweet and extremely tasty. These would be perfect for children who are picky when eating fruit as they are covered in yoghurt so the fruit is hidden.
Yogurt-Coated Fruit Pieces are available in strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, raisin and the new banana flavour. They are available to buy from Tesco and Sainsbury.

We then went on to try the Jus Fruit Chews. They are delicious bite-sized pieces of dried fruit which look and taste just like a sweet. They remind me of a small jelly tot but tastier. The fruit chews are made using 100% real fruit pieces which I believe is great for children. The chews are also a part of your 5-a-day which is good for fussy little eaters who hate eating pieces of real fruit. The fruit chews are less than 90 calories a pack.
The Yu Jus Fruit Chews are available in 5 different flavours, cherry, blueberry, mango, raspberry, blackcurrant and strawberry. Jus Fruit Chews are available from Tesco and Sainsbury.

Finally we tried the Yu! Bars. They are made up of 40% fruit and are my favourite out of all the Yu! fruit treats. They are packed with plump, juicy fruits with cereal in a gorgeously healthy yogurt-coating. Not only are these great for snacking on, I also believe they would be great for a healthy breakfast on the go. 

Overall I would rate the Yu! Fruit Snacks 5/5.

I did not receive any financial reward for writing this review.
However we did receive the product for review purposes. Everything written in this post is my own, honest opinion
