We have to pay for all our training courses now so my friend and I are picky and choosy which ones we go on.

We got an email a couple of weeks ago offering a free course in small world play. We booked on it and went tonight.

We were given a lovely goody bag. It contained a set of ethnic family wooden dolls, a set of pirate wooden dolls, a wooden playground set, a set of astronauts, a bag of space dust and a bag of jewels plus a book on small world play.

We then got to the end of the evening and they said because so many people hadn't turned up we could choose another 2 items so I got a other set of pirates and another bag of jewels.

The kids are going to have a great time tomorrow.

And the course was great too. Lots of ideas.
