NurtureStore is 1 year old today!
365 days since our very first post we’ve shared 226 ideas and had 1231 comments. We’ve been kittens, grown sunflowers, made peg dolls and sung you songs. The most enjoyable part of NurtureStore for me is being part of the play community, sharing ideas with you all and getting lots of inspiration from you. I love the Play Academy we host each Friday as I get to see what you have all been up to during the week and I love hearing from you when you leave a comment here or on our Facebook page.
******************Prize Giveaway******************
To celebrate our birthday, Orchard Toys sent us a lovely present: a What a Performance! game. It’s a really fun game and has had us pretending to be frogs, pulling funny faces and squawking like a parrot. B loves the magic spy glass which you have to use to reveal the hidden forfeits and A likes to be officially in charge of the spinner. Like all Orchard Toys there is a good educational element to the game too as it includes counting, language, creativity and turn taking practise. It’s a great family game and perfect for enjoying together with your kids.
And to share the birthday cheer Orchard Toys are giving away a copy of the game to one of you too.

Orchard Toys were founded in 1971, a couple of years before I was born! :oP
1971.
What a fab educational but fun game for the kiddies.
Also 1971 the year after I was born, so I’d have fun telling the children how I was a year old when Orchards were founded, & no doubt I’ll get 1001 questions about what I was like at a year old.
