Get your dictionary ready
To be fair, I may be biased, because this is one of my favorite games.
It's super simple to set up and play, all you need to do is get your letter tiles ready. This game does tend to favor those with an immense vocabulary and those who can spell. It is educational and fun though because playing with others can help you add some new words to your own vocabulary. Be prepared to search through dictionaries if your friend plays a word you don't accept. The way my family plays, we also use a dictionary close to the end of the game to use up our last few tiles, but I think that may be against the rules. Overall, 10/10 would recommend!

RHS I Can Grow A Sunflower is endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society and makes a great starting book for a young gardener with this easy to read, educational guide to growing a sunflower, that comes with free seeds and a sunflower height chart, too!
Sixteen bright board book pages reveal the life cycle of a sunflower, and the excitement of growing a plant from seed. It also has some fun gardening and small critter facts and has fun flaps that open up to reveal hiding creatures!
Winner of the silver award at the Junior Design Awards 2018 – Best Pre-Schooler Book 2-5 Years – this is certainly a book to recommend to parents for children of this age, because not only is it educational, it enables hands-on experience and fun quality time together. It’s a pretty book to gift, that’s also practical and intriguing.

Personally, I loved this book. A full-on fairy-tale itself, it incorporates so many details that I wouldn't have even thought of. Very few plot holes were left open, and I loved how the author incorporated details from the original versions of the books, and not only the Disney versions.
I loved the way this book went, full of surprises and so many amazing things. Definetely worth your time.

What an amazing story
I highly recommend this book to absolutely everyone! The story is very engaging as well as educational. Really, really enjoyed reading this book. Wish there were more similar stories with other species. Maybe there are and I'm just not aware, so if anyone knows of another book like this one, please let me know ?

Extremely interesting
Took this book on holiday with me and could not put it down! Managed to read it very quickly. So interesting to learn about forensics and pathology! Behind the scenes of crimes that ordinary people would not realise. Read about interesting cases as the forensic/pathology/psychological/detective work that goes into solving such crimes. Fascinating! Clear chapters also. Including some pictures!

Early years education
As we are all spending our time at home & children's education is important, these may be worth your time.
As a parent myself I can assure you that although for an adult these can be mind numbing and rather boring, its good to know that there's tv to help home schooling.
Alphablocks is a British animated educational television programme that is designed to teach young children how to spell using animated blocks representing each letter. It is animated by Blue-Zoo and produced by Alphablocks Ltd.
Once the Alphablocks discover that whenever they make a word it comes to life, many new adventures in Alphaland can be created.
This is meant to help preschool children with learning the alphabet, spelling, reading and writing.
With it's bright colours & easy to understand dialogue, Alphablocks is a fun and intriguing show for kids.

Great family game

Super Fun!
You really have to think on your toes for this game. Sometimes the pressure of the timer loudly ticking away on the table makes all coherent thoughts leave the brain. Overall though, I love this game! Its kind of like the alphabet game kids might play in the car, but you start with a letter instead of the category. Hours of fun.

It's short and sweet.
Fun, educational, not annoying
Bing is a cute little bunny with his guardian Flop. A show that doesn't just focus letters and numbers, more learning about everyday life and the right behaviours. Not many shows like that and honestly, if my daughter takes away some of the lessons taught in Bing, I'll be a happy mummy.

It's not easy to write a novel which is so philosophically thought provoking it is likely to turn your world views on their head. Which is educational and enlightening. And yet which is a great page turner of an adventure story with twists and turns aplenty. A good book is judged for me by how it has changed you after you have finished reading it. This fulfilled this in so many ways. Superb!
