At BoiKido we believe that children have an
advantage at school when learning begins at home. Tat’s why we created a range of high-quality wooden toys designed to entertain and educate. To help parents begin educating at home, here
are the top five skills you can teach children with a BoiKido wooden toy:
1. Motor skills All babies like to move it, move it! Every
action that we undertake as adults is informed by the motor skills that we learn during childhood. Te BoiKido Twist Caterpillar is perfect for satisfying a young child’s curiosity! Babies from six months can explore touch and twist in all positions with this fun, colourful, stretchable caterpillar!
2. Problem solving Even Sherlock Holmes had to start somewhere!
While exploring different shapes and colours, babies can also have their first experience of problem solving by playing with puzzles and it’s double the fun with the double puzzles from BoiKido, which feature a four-piece base and four fun BoiKido animal peg puzzles, suitable for children aged 12 months and over.
3. Musicality Could your baby be the next Adele? Musicality
can be fostered from an early age through both song and rudimentary instruments. BoiKido Musical Blocks are suitable for children aged 12 months and over. Tey can help your child develop rhythm, melody and as an added bonus, construction skills!
Education starts at home with BoiKido!
4. Numbers and letters ABC, it’s as easy as one, two, three! But it’s much
easier for kids to excel in numbers and letters at school if parents introduce them at home. Te
Chunky Clock Puzzle is a great toy to help children learn to tell the time and count to 12. Suitable for 24 months and over, it’s time to start teaching your children the skills that will last a lifetime!
5. Role play It’s said ‘Our imagination is the only limit to what
we can hope to have in the future.’ Early imaginative role play is key in developing an understanding of the world and our place within it. Te BoiKido Construction Workbench lets children role play and build as many projects as their imagination allows! Suitable for 36 months and over, this toy lets your child build towards a bright future!

Be Amazing, Be An Egg Donor
Family is a life enriching, precious gift many of us take for granted. Could egg donation be something you could help with, to give a struggling couple the chance of knowing that joy? “When I was told at 25 that my ovaries had
packed up and I couldn’t have babies, my world totally disintegrated. I have longed to be a mother since I was a child, and Ben desperately wanted to be a dad,” says Anna, 28. One in five couples struggle with infertility and
for couples like Anna and Ben, egg donation is the only way for them to start a family. But, after being in a state of emotional exhaustion, many couples have to face the stark reality that there is a huge shortage of donors in the UK, and a general lack of
awareness and information for women thinking about egg donation. Finding a donor to help can seem impossible. However, some women and mothers are inspired
to donate, some because they’ve seen the heartache caused by the inability to conceive in close family or friends; these women appreciate the joy of having a family and are able to empathise with the misery of not being able to have children. Others donate hoping that, if it were to happen to them, they in turn would be helped through kindness — they just need the encouragement and information to come forward, as well as professional care throughout the process. But becoming an egg donor is easier than people
think and, of course, it is a total life-changer for the person needing help. Altrui offers a unique approach to egg donation in the UK. It helps support and care for the amazing women who want to donate anonymously to a matched recipient, making their journey as easy as possible. As a small, experienced and dedicated team,
Altrui ensures that donors’ needs are cared for at every turn. You are legally entitled to £750 as compensation, and you will have regular contact with answers, advice and travel help throughout the process. If you are 35 or under, healthy and would like to help, we would love to hear from you.
Giving birth: the best start for you both
Being pregnant is a very special and exciting time. It’s also the best time to make yourself top priority. Making small changes to your lifestyle now will make a big difference to the health and wellbeing of you and your new baby. During pregnancy your body will go through an
enormous number of changes as your baby develops. What you eat, the way you exercise and how much rest you get will all play a role in supporting you and your child’s wellbeing. Mermaid Maternity Retreat is a unique resource
created to help you put yourself first. A meeting place for mums-to-be and new mums, it provides non-medical help, advice and support at every step of your motherhood journey, all under one roof. Tis relaxing retreat in London is the ideal place

to prepare for and recover from the birth.

‘Te
UK is the only country in the developed world where women are routinely discharged from hospital within a few hours of delivery. For a lot of women, this can be a very difficult and distressing way to begin life as a mother. Terefore, while hospitals may be the safest place to deliver, Mermaid is the perfect place to recover.’
