  Real Nappy Week Freebies! The Devon Real Nappy Project have generously provided Mama Packs for everyone attending our Real Nappy Week events this week. The contents of the Mama Packs do vary, so here is a photo of the contents of one of the RNW Mama Packs.
We also have a number of extra items for you to collect too:
Come along to any of the events that The Natural Nursery is attending this week and collect your free Mama Pack and extras. Arabella will be available to take you through cloth nappies and show you just how easy they are to use. Tuesday – Babyccino will be taking place at the Hub on the Green, 1.30-3.30 Thursday – Baby Café at St Thomas Community Centre, 10.30-12.00 Please note, the Mama Packs are security sealed so we can’t guarantee that you will get exactly what is in the photo, but it is sure to be good. The extras are completed separate to the Mama Packs and Mama Packs are not responsible for any extras that you receive in addition to your sealed Mama Pack. Stocks of both packs are limited and are avilable free of charge while stocks last. Review“Why Love Matters is hugely important. It should be mandatory reading for all parents, teachers and politicians.” - The Guardian “Sue Gerhardt’s choice of title reflects the loving attention to detail that is the essence of this book… excellently researched and well-written book which deserves to be widely read by practitioners, researchers and parents.” - Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice “Sue Gerhardt has written a vitally important book – a must-read for every parent, teacher, physician and politician.” - Daniel Goleman, author Emotional Intelligence “I would like to add to that positive view and suggest that this book be on every reading list you offer to new parents, politicians, clients, colleagues, family and friends.” - Jeannie Wright, British Journal of Guidance and Counselling “Gerhardt’s book offers perhaps one of the most concise arguments for why love and affection in early life truly do matter. Written with clear and direct language, this text can serve as a general resource for mental health professionals and parents alike.” - Rachel Altamirano, Clinical Social Work Journal UK parents throw away around 3 billion disposable nappies every year – that is a lot of landfill and this is what one babies nappy mountain looks like -
 A Mountain of disposable nappies It is believed that it will take up to 500 years for these nappies to decompose (all the while producing dangerous methane gas), which could be a big headache for our grandchildren. A Women’s Environmental Network study shows that disposable nappies use: 3.5 times as much energy 8 times as much non-renewable raw materials 2.3 times as much waste water as reusable nappies.

All together now – ahhhhhh! This is from the fantastic site – citygirlfarming.com which has loads of ideas for growing food in small spaces. I’ve grown the tops of carrots (just pop them in a saucer of water), accidentally sprouted potato’s and tried and failed to grow avocado’s before but this blog has some new ideas! They are so easy to do with children, and the small seeds are so fast to grow too! If you do grow any please send us your photos to lisa@naturalnursery.co.uk There’s all sorts of growing experiments you can do with your kids just by using food from your kitchen. The possibilities are nearly limitless…take some time to take stalk of the food supplies you have, and decide which ones you’d like to experiment with. To give you an idea of the kinds of things you can plant, here’s a quick list: 1. Whole seed spices (like corriander seed, mustard seed, etc.) 2. Seeds from fruits and vegetables (like potatoes, green peppers, apples, etc.) 3. Snack food seeds (like popcorn and raw nuts, etc.) 4. Fresh herbs and spices (like garlic and ginger root, etc.) Most of these seeds and roots will grow best by starting them in water. Also, many of them can be transplanted out into the garden, if you’d like. Here’s an example of a couple of ways to get some food growing from your kitchen food supply: CeleryTake a bunch of celery and cut the bottom root off. Place the root in a cup, filled about half way up the root. New leaves and stalks will begin to form out the top of the cut root. You can then plant it in the garden if you’d like.
