![[AD - Gifted] Stand out from the crowd with a @liferyder.uk scooter!
The boys have been getting lots of compliments on their new rides. M scoots to and from school on his every day and loves how fast they go. I've had a little go on them too and would love if they did an adult version so I can join in the fun.
I've written a full review of these awesome all-terrain scooters with interchangeable grahpics over on my blog (link in bio)

![[AD - Gifted] The boys were over the moon when their awesome scooters from @liferyder.uk arrived on our doorstep. So much so, Mr H had to get building them straight away so they could take their new wheels out for a spin. We're really impressed with them so far - the intructions are super easy to follow and put together.
LIFERYDER scooters are all-terrain and designed to grow with your child, they're also customisable with a range of super-cool graphics too!

We have SO many lovely memories of visiting @carterssteamfair over the years. You may have heard that this is their last ever tour as the owners are looking to find a permanent site for the fair.
We went to our last ever Carters Fair at Hersham Green over the weekend. The sun was out and the kids had an absolute blast going on their favourite rides.
The fair is still on at Hersham Green this weekend 14-15th May - if you love traditional fairground rides and games make sure you visit.

With the Easter holiday fast approaching I know it’s going to be tricky to keep the boys busy while both Mr H and I are working from home. They will want lots of screen time (obvs) but we’ll also be encouraging them to get some fresh air and play outside as well as do some other activities that are screen-free.
K’Nex is a great activity that both the boys can get stuck into. It allows them to get creative and make all sorts of 3D creations and is something that will hold their attention for longer than just a few minutes!
Both the K’Nex Beginner Builds and City Builders set from @BasicFunUK are available to buy from @johnlewis I’ve written a more detailed review over on my blog (link in bio)](https://scontent-lhr8-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/277476971_399473911603328_6069866992645283868_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=Pctd6f5caB4AX_qbpUC&_nc_ht=scontent-lhr8-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&oh=00_AT-RYbQErUgWKnJZMh_U4CwjwV_HuWTebDBCGgM5fk2Uhg&oe=62F95ABD)

The boys have been busy testing out some footballs from the Messi Training System to build upon their football skills - from improving their speed and reflexes to accuracy when shooting and scoring goals.
I've written a review on the blog (link in bio)
The full Messi Training System range is available from Smyths Toys so your kids can also train like Messi!
