 Summer Fun with babyboomboom Multi-Lingual CDs

If your regular class is not running during the school holidays why not hold your own!

 

A fun activity is to arrange a get together with friends and their babies and toddlers to enjoy babyboomboom's musical, interactive, multi-lingual CDs.

 

The CDs contain well-known songs and nursery rhymes sung in English with each verse repeated in a second language - currently available in French or Spanish with German and Italian available shortly.

 

The babyboomboom series aims to stimulate the children's minds with sounds such as drum beating, clapping hands as well as the familiar sounds of the repetition of traditional nursery rhymes, albeit in another languages. The whole idea is that children will be learning without realising it and enjoying themselves. In time, the children familiarise themselves with the language, and amaze parents and carers at just how much they have picked up - giving them a headstart in life whilst having lots of fun.

Juliet Machan, co-founder says, "We are not trying to teach children languages, but to familiarise and stimulate with a view to unlocking the potential of our little one minds whilst having fun. Research shows that babies recognise music that they have heard frequently from a very early age - even whilst in the womb, and we all know how good babies are at mimicking what they see and hear in their daily routine.''

All products are available from www.babyboomboom.com. CDs are priced at £9.99 and they are also available with a range of four carefully selected musical instruments. The band-bags are £19.99, providing the child with hours of endless fun.

I hope that many of you are lucky enough to be heading for a fabulous summer holiday away in the UK or further afield this school holidays. 

But I'd challenge anyone to beat

Country Kids near Montpellier for the best holiday for families in France! A bold statement but I've just returned from our second holiday there and it's now even better!

You might remember I wrote about our first visit last September and raved about it then, I'd even booked our June 2008 holiday before we left which is something I've never done before. To read my original story click here

For 2008 Country Kids now includes children's teatime "Le Gouter" and we were treated to pancakes, sandwiches and even a chocolate fountain one day!  Also new is a small soft play area in the crèche and on the last day parents attended a "show" that the children had been working on all week.

Fresh baguettes and croissants are now baked on the premises, nothing better than popping to the shop first thing for a warm baguette and free coffee!  And the pool has king-size, 4-poster day-beds that turn lounging by the pool into a luxury experience!

This year we did manage to drag ourselves away to go to the beach for the day (about 1 hours drive) and enjoyed the Mediterranean sun and even managed a dip!  Alice did bring most of the beach back with her!

The end result after a week of this was two very relaxed parents and a very happy little girl.

And in case you're wondering I have already booked our return trip which will be in the school holidays next year and I'm glad I did as our first choice of week was already gone!  You can read more on the new Country Kids website  and I'm also told that you'll be able to book on-line soon.
