A shattering silence reverberates around the place once the kids are asleep - hopefully that's soon after you put them down, rather than hours later! Now's a perfect time to catch up with your homework - fill in your kid's Blogs and make sure you record those thoughts of the day. It's easy to think you'll come back to do this later but by them you've forgotten all the funny incidents and dramas that took place today. Get into the habit of spending a few minutes writing your blogs regularly and in no time at all, you'll have an invaluable reference of your children's first few years! Go on, it's so easy, and you'll regret it if you don't!

As your babies grow into toddlers and then into little children, they'll do all sort of things that make you proud and make you laugh. All too quickly they start school and you quickly forget the amazing experiences that you went through in their early years. That's what ToucanLearn's private blogs are for. You can record events about your children as often as you like - record the funny things that they have said and done, record the milestones they pass, such as when their first teeth came through, when they first smiled, their first words and so on. In time you'll have an invaluable record that you can look through and remember all those great moments. Don't forget that their blog space is private - it's not shared publicly.

Children do and say the funniest things. As parents, we enjoy those special moments that our kids make us laugh or when they do things that touch us. Wouldn't it be great to be able to recall all those precious moments and events after our children have grown a bit older? That's exactly what your ToucanLearn blogs are for - if you find the time in your busy day to record those memorable instances, then you will build a treasure trove of precious memories that you will be able to look back on forever!

A picture tells a thousand words - so why not take photographs of your children doing their ToucanLearn activities and upload them to their blogs? Better still, have your kids take photos themselves!

I'm sure you've found that your toddlers love gadgets - TV remotes, phones, computers. Our houses are littered with modern devices, many of which didn't even exist when we were babies! Our kids love to play with them because they are 'grown up' things that they see us using, and they want to mimic what we do. Cameras are no different - under supervision your children will delight in being allowed to use a real camera, and take real photos. Have them photograph their own art and craftwork and store their pictures in their Blog - they will thank you for the memories as they grow older.
