The month of August seems to have flown by with a mixture of home renovations, days out, trips to see family and getting ready for back to school. I’ve enjoyed my time with the children this summer and missed them terribly whilst they went to spend two weeks with my Mam.
I’m joining in with Family Four Fun’s #FunFinds linky again this month as I love the opportunity to tell you about ‘fun finds’ I have seen throughout August.

Little Fruit Bowl Launch Fruity Fingers
Fruit Bowl have recently launched their Little Fruit Bowl range which includes two types of snacks, Fruity Fingers and Sticks. There are four flavours to choose from within the Fruity Fingers range and three flavours of Sticks and containno added sugar. The two ranges are aimed at toddlers aged 12 months+ and can only be found currently in Tesco in the baby food aisle – for 60p per pack.
Eating healthily and getting fruit into a toddler’s diet is not always easy. Little Fruit Bowl Fruit Fingers help toddlers to become accustomed to fruit tastes and supply energy (calories) that active toddlers need. During this rapid period of growth additional energy is necessary yet toddlers can be faddy eaters so the availability of Little Fruit Bowl Fruit Fingers helps busy parents to ensure that their toddlers are getting energy and additional nutrients between meals and other snacks. New research from Fruit Bowl which found that almost a third (31%) of parents thought it was fine for youngsters to eat fewer than five servings of fruit or vegetables a day and only a quarter (23%) could name all the different varieties of fruit and vegetables that count towards the dietary target.
Little Fruit Bowl Fruit Fingers contain no added sugar and provide one portion of the five a day recommended portions of fruit and vegetables. They contain fruit puree, fruit juice and rice. Each pack contains five times its weight in fruit. They also contain no artificial colours or flavours.
Breakdancing Grannies
A gaggle of breakdancers took to the Southbank recently, dressed as OAPs where they terrified and stunned
The stunt was to celebrate the release of the first title in a new series by Jim Smith, who shot to fame as author of the Barry Loser series, which has won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and been selected as a World Book Day title.
The hilarious, new Future Ratboy comedy series is a spin-off from Barry Loser and tells the story of Colin Lampost (and his toy bird, Bird) who is zapped millions of years into the future. Bird has been brought to life as “Not Bird” and Brian’s DNA is fused with a rat giving him super keel powers: Future Ratboy is born!
But the future is not a safe place to be and there are killer robot grannies on the rampage.
