Does anybody else feel like January is lasting forever?
Every rainy day that we are stuck indoors Esther and William stand at the window longing to be let out. It is their new favourite thing to do and they shout out loud all the things that they see … ‘car!’ ‘man!’ ‘tree!’ ‘bird!’ . They also shout ‘Hello’ to all the people who walk past and are quite put out if they do not reply.
Esther and William are still a little young for imaginative play but if they were just a year or so older I would definitely buy them a Create-a-World from WhiteStep to help us pass the hours on a gloomy January day.
This giant fuzzy felt-esque playmat can be used to create different worlds and is a wonderful way to engage and excite children while developing their imagination and storytelling skills.
Create-a-World is made from high-quality felt. It includes 90 colourful, handmade, easy to stick and remove, playing pieces: animals, vehicles, fairy-tale characters, and many more.
Create-a-World can be hung on a wall or spread on the ground or a low table making it a great toy to take on holiday or to Grandma’s house. It is a way of playing creatively and making a masterpiece without also making a mess!
Create-a-World enables every child to express themselves by creating their own unique world. It fosters language development by making it easy for children to express their thoughts and act out stories.
As a Mummy of twins I can see that this toy would be perfect to encourage my little ones to play together and create worlds together. It would encourage them to share and cooperate, collaborate through creative play.
This is a great toy that can be used by all the family. I also think that it would make a great literacy resource in the primary classroom.
What do you think? Would you like one of these? Can you imagine creating worlds with your little ones on these dull, dark winter days?
I am thrilled to be able to offer you the chance to win a Create-a-World for the little storyteller/s in your life.

I would buy the ABC kit for my daughter because not only will it help with learning the alphabet but it will also help with letter recognision and simple word formation. They also have a picture which corresponds to the letter for example M has a Moon, L has a Lion ect which is ideal for phonics and can be stuck on the bedroom wall as a mural
Great competition as always

I would buy the Cozy Wrap looks amazing
I tweeted for you too x My 1,2 & 3 year olds would love this x
I love the ABC kit which can accompany the Create-a-World. My little girl has just started following words in her books at story time and I think this would be great as she starts to form words.

Ohh, a flexibath definitely, so useful in so many ways. I’m thinking a good garden paddling pool in the summer too.

OMG!!! The Flexi Bath – fold-away baby bath tub is SUCH an ace idea!
Bath baths are so bulky and in a small house like mine, very inconvenient to store, I will be defo getting one for my next baby.x
Have followed and tweeted too! @Iggy131313
I would buy the Cozy Baby Wrap for a friend whose baby is due very soon as I know the value of holding a baby close to aid bonding and make the baby feel secure
I have tweeted as asked @RuthMarianna
Flexibath is a great idea! So many baby things take up so much space! Also like the alphabet addition to the Create-a-World kit. I’d like to get these for my grandchildren.
The Create-a-World sets would definitely be top of my list as I know my children would have great fun playing with these. If I had to choose something else from the site though, I would choose the Bibi Partitioned Feeding Bowls. Perfect for first meals at home and when you’re out and about, but they would also be good for older children to use in a packed lunch box too.
Flexibath for me
I love these mats! From the Whitestep site I would buy the non-slip bowls for a friend whose baby is just getting to weaning age!
I’ve tweeted too! @superluckydi
It has to be a flexibath
Have tweeted @anna8301
Loving the Flexibath Bath Toys – just perfect for little ones, a basic idea but babies just love playing with jugs and funnels etc (as do toddlers!). I would buy this for my friend who’s just had a baby, far more exciting than yet another baby outfit!

Hi,
I think I’d choose Ducky Duck, he’s so cute!
just wanna give some feedback. the play mat is great and both my girls (6yrs & 11mths) enjoy playing with it. currently has a place on our dining room wall. thanks very much.
Thank you so much for this. Will pass on to White Step who I know will be thrilled with the feedback. Thank you x
the only neg feedback is not all the shapes from the picture on the box were in the box, ie we have no volcano or sun to name a couple
