At a typical Noah's Ark Workshop party, we bring a selection of our gorgeous animals.

The children choose and animal and stuff it full of our fabulous, soft, stuffing and a rainbow star promising to love their animal and care for it for life!

The kids then decorate a take home bag and, if you choose an outfit or tshirt option they can dress their animal too! It's all up to you!

Kids are made to learn through fun, exploration and discovery NOT with flash cards and busy work! No Time For Flash Cards is a free online resource packed full of all different activities , from cooking to dance, from recycled art to bug hunting! The best part is that new things are added almost daily!

Parents are not left in the dust though, there are fun things for you too. Product and book reviews help you make the daunting task of finding the right books and best craft supplies a little easier.

Let us be your guinea pig!

When it comes down to it what we really hope is that you play and learn with your child and if we can help you do that we have done our job!

Benefits of teaching your baby to sign:

Increases your child's self-esteem
Empowers babies to communicate
Reduces frustration for parent and child
Enhances language skills
Enriches the parent/child bond
Increases a child's IQ

We offer play classes, parent workshops and early childhood educator training. Whether you are a self-starter who wants to learn in one class and teach your baby at your own pace, or you enjoy the camraderie of meeting other moms who also sign with their children, there is a class for you. We even offer private workshops and classes to fit into your schedule, and the hosting mom gets a group discount rate.

Find Baby Signs products to assist in your signing journey. Or, take a moment to read some of the recent research on baby sign language. You can also find links to our parent support group and educational websites to help you along the way.

We think it is important for Mommys to FEEL as Extraordinary as they are. For us, 'Extraordinary' means 'above and beyond what is normal or usual'. Since we know that is how you live your life: you go above and beyond for your children, your significant other, even for your friends, we know it is important that you save some of the 'Extraordinary' for you. This means seeking inspiration in day to day life and in the wonderful Mommys around us. Take time to celebrate, to enjoy time with your children, to imagine, and to learn.

The Art of Gratitude is one of the most powerful lessons we can teach our children. It is our responsibility to raise these little people to understand the value of giving….to appreciate what they have and consider what others don't have. Wouldn't we have a remarkable world if we taught all children to work, even on some small level, to make the world a better place? If we 'Give Good' we are guaranteed to "Get Good'. Take a look at some of the little ways you can make a difference with very little effort.

We all have those days: you can't get your toddler to eat, you find yourself saying 'no' a million times a day, you don't understand your 6 year old's sassiness, potty training is a disaster, you wish you were a stay at home mom, or you wish you were a working mom. Share with the people who understand! ExtraordinaryMommys have questions and they are smart enough to know that other ExtraordinaryMommys have the answers.

Come to our forum. Share your questions and your 'light bulb moments'.

Mumsandbabes is a fab, fun, friendly award winning forum for mummys and mummys to be. We offer a place to come and escape the kids and the stresses and strains of life. We have a close knit community who are there to share the highs and sometimes lows of motherhood.

There is a place to chat about anything and everything including whats happening on tv, books and DVDs. There is a place to show off your pictures in our gallery and a section where you can tell us what your little ones have been up to and ask any questions to the other mummys who are always ready with helpful advice.

We run lots of competitions with prizes to be won and hold chat nights where we put aside one night to be woman again and not just mummys.
We also have a child of the month contest every month.

There are plenty of things for everyone.

Feel free to come and have a look around. We look forward to seeing you and welcoming you to mumsandbabes.
