My Mini Golfer

Freddy loves getting outdoors and playing in the garden, so when he received a Mini Golf Set from Great Gizmos to try out he was very excited.  Still in his school uniform, he raced outside to have a few rounds of golf.  Unfortunately, our lawn was more "rough" than a putting green, but unperturbed, Freddy put down the hole and was quickly enjoying his game.

The Mini Golf Set includes a kids' size wooden golf club and ball, along with a flagged hole and two tracks, which can be put down to make the game more challenging.  Everything fits into a cloth bag for storage and for carrying around easily.  

Everything was the perfect size for Freddy and he enjoyed putting the ball around the lawn, through the tracks and into the hole.  The club and ball are well weighted and are great for little hands to manage.  

Each piece is beautifully made, strong and sturdy, making this a great investment that will last for years (unlike some of the flimsy plastic golf sets on the market with bendy clubs and balls that blow away or get crushed when whacked by a 5 year old wielding said club!)

The Plan Toys Mini Golf Single Set is £21.95 from Great Gizmos.  It is a great introduction to the game and gets little ones up and active out of doors, learning a new skill. It is suitable for ages 4 and up.  Freddy loves it and I am very impressed with the quality of the pieces and the fact that it packs away into a bag.

Adventures at the Cheshire Ice Cream Farm #countrykids

We spent a lovely few hours today at one of our favourite places, Cheshire Farm  - The Ice Cream Farm.  It is completely free to enter to see the animals and use the huge range of outdoor play equipment.  Other outdoor activities cost just £1 making it a very affordable day out. (There is also a huge indoor soft play area and a Games Loft which cost extra.) And of course there is the ice cream parlour with over forty flavours of ice cream to choose from!

Here is what we got up to...

Hopscotch.

Crazy golf which costs just £1 for nine holes and was great fun!  We even got some holes in one!

Quad Bikes which are £1 for two laps.  Freddy loved this.

the kids played on the outdoor wooden play equipment, great for testing your balance.

Kizzy tried out the Monkey Bars!!

Freddy was happy to get a helping hand from his big sister!

Swinging.

More swinging!

Freddy enjoyed practicing his skills on a digger. (£1)

Panning for Gold for £1.  We found Fool's Gold, Rose Quartz, Tiger Eye, Agate and Jasper which was bagged up for us to take home.

And of course we had to have an ice cream cone each...Raspberry Pavlova for Fred and Chocolate Fudge Cookie for Kizzy!

It is a lovely place for some outdoor fun for my Country Kids!
