Guest Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 sounds like a fantastic experience, "Outside, get hold of some hay bales, tyres, goggles and a warning to bring extra clothes or a bin bag to travel home in.

Guest Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 This thread has a little "hot" sign next to it. It's not been posted on for over 3 years but still counts as hot? Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillpen Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Looks like those cobwebs are disappearing fast! It's great to have male points of view as well as female :1b Stay and play sessions at my Pre-School are attended pre-dominantly by mums, with the occasional dad lurking uneasily in the background. Love the idea of 'Lads and Dads hand and footprints' and I will try that out as a lure to get a few more dads to participate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 This thread has a little "hot" sign next to it. It's not been posted on for over 3 years but still counts as hot? Wow! The hot refers to the number of replies rather than any indication of how recent it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
