• A Christmas cake decorating workshop at Kenilworth Castle, under the expert tutelage of sugarcraft teacher Lynne Rigby (Thursday 8 December)
• Traditional games and toy-making workshops at Kenilworth Castle, from 27 to 30 December – a perfect Christmas gift for the whole family!

Flythomascook.com keeps the kids entertained now the school holidays are here – free puzzles and games available to download.

Giulia — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 12:24:55 +0000

Flythomascook.com releases free downloadable games to keep your kids busy during the summer holidays.

Flythomascook.com has launched its own Kids Club aimed at saving mum and dad valuable holiday spending money this summer. Kids can be kept entertained for hours with a unique series of fun and educational categories that are packed with games, colouring sheets, holiday facts and stories, and it is all available to download free of charge.

As the only extras required are pencils or crayons, getting away doesn’t have to break the bank, and the kids can be entertained every step of their holiday, whether it’s before we go, at the airport, on the plane or on the beach.
Offering bargain flights with flexible durations including one way flights, flythomascook.com operates to and from the UK’s most popular airports and as many families are preparing to jet away this summer Thomas Cook Airlines cabin crew suggests it’s top ten family tips for flying:

During take off and landing give your baby a bottle or a dummy to help stop their ears from popping.
If your child gets bored in their seat take a walk with them to the galley area to stretch the legs and take a break.
Be prepared if you’re travelling on a night flight, some parents think their child will sleep, but this often isn’t the case when away from their normal environment.
Take a small blanket with you in case your child gets cold as many airlines don’t provide these on short flights.
Dress your baby in clothes that are easy to get on and off for nappy changing – space is limited!
Consider getting a baby sling for your journey. That way you can carry your baby and have two hands free to carry luggage.
Pack your child’s favourite snacks so that you have food to hand if they want something to eat quickly.
If your child is having an inflight meal, be prepared with alternatives in case they don’t like what they’re given.
Ask cabin crew to heat baby milk well in advance of when you need it so that you have it ready for when the baby wants it.
Kids love presents, so wrap up lots of small surprises for them that you can give to your child throughout the flight to keep them entertained and occupied.

Summer Snow, the coolest gift

Giulia — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 08:36:11 +0000

LONDON, 18 JUNE 2011 – Unfortunately for some, Father’s day in the UK seems to be all about hideous ties, cheap after shave and unecessary gadgets. It doesn’t have to be, though. It’s allowed to give your dad something he really wants, such as a succulent Sunday Roast, summer snow or a shot of pure adrenaline. For cool Father’s Day presents, have a look at what The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead has to offer.

Father’s Day usually is the third Sunday in June, which means that this year, it will be celebrated on June 19th. If you don’t have any plans yet, you could bring your dad to The Snow Centre to meet Peppa Pig on the snow slopes. From 10am – 3pm, there will be hot rod cars, three bouncy castles, a BBQ and ice cream. From 12pm–4pm, you can get a special Father’s Day Sunday roast for just £5.95 per person at The EDGE, a restaurant with fully licensed bar, pool table and Sky Sports TV screens.

If your dad isn’t too keen on meeting Peppa Pig, you could also get him a Recreational Lift Pass or ski or snowboard lesson for another day. All the equipment needed (skis/snowboard, boots, poles, and helmet) is included in the ticket. Afterwards, you can go for a meal at The EDGE. All meals on the menu are under £7, including the legendary Steak Millionaise, Tuna Steak Salad, BBQ Ribs, Vegetarian Curry, Teriyaki Chicken Noodles, Chicken Tikka Masala, a wide selection of pub food and Broccoli Pasta Bake.

Daredevils and adrenaline junkies can get their fix at The Snow Centre with the Cresta Run. For only £5 per person, you’ll get 30 fun filled adrenaline pumping minutes. You can either whizz, slide and spin across the snow in the ever popular Rubber Ringo, steer your way down the slope on the lightweight Zipfy Sledge or race to the finish line on an Airboard. The minimum age is 4 years for the Rubber Ringos, 5 years for the Zipfy Sledge and 13 years for the Airboard. To book your adrenaline shot, visit https://booking.thesnowcentre.com/calendar, choose fun snow activities and use the promotional code ‘CRESTA5’.

The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead, only 20 minutes outside London, boasts a BASI Centre of Excellence Status and is the most highly qualified snowsports school in the south of England. Skiers and snowboarders of all abilities are guaranteed to receive world class coaching.
