What's been happening at Blossom Learning?

There is so much happening here at Learning that's Fun, some days I feel like I might forget my head if I'm not careful. But it's ramping up to be a massively exciting time for us all.

Photo Challenge

While I was away on a little trip we had the 7 Photos in 7 Days event which was fantastic. The participation rate was pretty small, but those who contributed to the challenge did a fabulous job. It's always so interesting to see how everyone interprets the world differently, and to see their take on life through the lense of their camera. We had everything from Food to Fireworks. And some very adorable little people starring.

It was a bit tricky, but I've downloaded them all and added them a neat little album on the Facebook Page. You can go here to see the photos from each day.


Christmas

I know it's still a little early, but hey I've started planning already! Well for the 1st of December anyway. It's a massive weekend for me that week! I'm taking my vintage car to a show, then I put up all my Christmas Lights ready to spend a month raising money for local charity and handing out lollies to the kids & families who drive past. AND THEN....DRUM ROLL......

We launch the 12 Days of Christmas with Learning that's Fun.

And boy oh boy is it going to be one of the MOST exciting things we've ever done here on LTF! 

Every single day for 12 days we will be reviewing and featuring some fun, exciting, cool, crazy, unique and most importantly, educational, toys and games. I'll have my small army of mini-testers check them out for you and let you know what to spend your hard earned cash on this Christmas, or what to put on the list for Santa. I'll also make it really easy for you to find these gifts! 

But WAIT, there's more! (no, not steak knives).

Everything we review over the 12 days, goes to YOU! Every day, we will be giving away the very product that's been featured. So make sure you're on the Facebook page and have our notifications set to show in your newsfeed. 

And make sure you're on the email list, so you don't miss a thing! 

AND THEN, tell all your friends about it. The more people we can get involved in these sorts of awesome giveaways and online events, the more companies will want to get involved. It's a win-win, and a kind of snow ball effect. 

Other News

In other news, still crowdfunding for the Blossom Connect project. If you haven't heard about it, you can check it out here . It's a local project for the Ballarat and Surrounding Districts, trying to build a great online resource for parents & families. A one stop shop for parents to come and get all the info they need on services for their children, get the latest news and reviews from products and services in the region, share their experiences with other parents, find out about events and what's happening the region for the kids AND get exclusive offers and discounts from local businesses in the area. The funding campaign ends this weekend, but we are only half way to our goal, so please share it around with everyone you know!

Market

For those of you in the Ballarat area, this Friday is the Caledonian Primary School Twilight Mega Market! It's going to be absolutely HUGE. So make sure you get there to snag some Christmas bargains. It's certainly not your average market. Everything they have there is locally grown or made. So you will find food, crafts, art, ME and the Learning that's Fun book and loads more. They also have a jumping castle and face painting and food stalls. ALL the fun stuff. 

We've got discounted copies of Learning that's Fun. We've also got some gorgeous little craft kits to make your own Learning Clock and FREE showbags for Mum. Yes, you read right. Showbags for Mum! But numbers are limited to so be early to get yours. 

PLUS, if you use the secret code word you will get 25% off your copy of the book. The word is "flowers". Don't forget ;) 

Friday 15th November
5pm - 8pm
Caledonian Primary School (Thompson St, Brown Hill)




So it's busy, but it's fun! We wouldn't do it otherwise. 

Hope everyone is having a great week, and look forward to seeing what you've all been up to. 

Happy Learning.
