Corby Tindersticks are quite frankly amazing... They are quirky, fun and just plain old gorgeous...

We do love Corby Tindersticks here at Skellywear HQ...

Interactive weather maps... 

We all know how let down we feel with the UK weather right?... Well now you can create a weather system of your own!!!... Each map comes with eight moveable printed weather symbols... With the release of the new Japanese weather map there's 3 maps to collect UK, the World and now Japan... Learn some geography whilst having fun!...

Corby have also come up with an amazing road map... 

A printed canvas bag containing a road map, vehicles and a play along character... 

No batteries or flashing lights just childrens imagination and adventures... The map can be anywhere in the world and the fun can be as crazy as you like... Beep beep!...

There's also new characters to add to the old gang of Ralph Raddish, Hip Hop Harold and all the other guys...

Gaston Gary Gledhill, Pomelo Perkins and Bertie Humbug Caterpillar... Bertie is my favourite... What's better than a funky caterpillar?... NOTHING!...

These cheery cheeky little guys are lovingly printed with eco friendly dyes onto organic hemp jersey... (Corby source eco friendly materials wherever possible... They care for the world we live in guys!...)

So if you want fun, funky, quirky design led toys Corby Tindersticks are the ones for you...

Cardboard... Sellotape... Pirate ships...

This week has been a tough week of poorly poorly children (time off nursery) and poorly Mummy (time off work to look after children and self)...

So today even though everyone is still poorly... At 8am during major toddler breakdowns I decided it would be good fun to make a cardboard pirate ship to play with!... 😂 We love pirates in this house...

2.5 hours later... 3 cardboard boxes and a ton of Sellotape that doesn't stick to anything, an anchor, steering wheel and lots and lots of imagination and 1 ahem... Pirate ship!...

It's not the best in the world and could be greatly improved with stronger cardboard, paint, sails, Sellotape that actually sticks, an engineer and possibly some actual instructions to follow...

But I'm sure my littles will get at least 5 minutes of play from it before they wreck it!...

Thursdays Threads...

Gromit...

This post was written a few weeks ago whilst on holiday, when I was only thinking about a blog!...

On the day Gromit Unleashed ends, it seems apt to look back and remember 'A Grand Day Out' (see what I did there?)...

Any how we spent the day in Bristol...

The last time we went there was nearly 7 years ago (pre babies), on our way to Cornwall for a week by the beach...

A beach covered in seaweed, dog turds! and litter!... Romantic huh?...

It was peeing down with rain so we spent the day in a bar and saw nothing of Bristol NOTHING!... but rain, rain and more rain. 

We got engaged that evening in Cafe Maitreya... Veggie food to die for!...

7 years later we returned with 2 toddlers and Gromit has been unleashed on the city, a charity art exhibition from Aardman and what a great idea it is...

All proceeds from Gromit Unleashed go towards Wallace & Gromit's Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children's Hospital Charity...

80 Gromit sculptures painted by 80 different artists, designers and celebrities... Some local to Bristol others not...

With an old school paper map for the 3yr old and an app for the mister off we went in search of Gromits... 

On the way we found lots of great veggie food (falafels) and had lots of fun a few toddler meltdowns and a few adult meltdowns, we found 17 Gromits altogether, my favourites being Gromit Lightyear, Hero Gromit, Salty Sea Dog and Gromitosaurus...

What a beautiful day, great city, fantastic vibe... 

Bristol we will return... X
