Farmer Palmers Has Grown!!

One of Dorset's biggest tourist attractions, Farmer Palmer`s Farm Park, has just got even bigger!!!

Today saw the launch of their new play barn; Little -Farmer`s Fun Barn. 

Situated next to Straw Mountain, the new play barn is any little persons paradise!!

The new barn is tardis of little play areas, suitable for all ages 0-8 years. 

There is a soft play area for toddlers, which was an instant hit with Ben!! A `barn within a barn` that has giant Lego to play and create with and wooden musical instruments to bang about.

The mini farm house is adorable, with its lovely wooden kitchen and decorations, what child wouldn`t want play in there?? 

There is a tunnel from the farm house leading onto the start of the climbing frame, a rope bridge. The climbing frame wraps around almost half the barn raising and dropping several times before ending in a spiral slide.

Underneath the climbing frame you will find a sensory tunnel filled with fairy lights, and projectors.

The floor is covered with lovely soft artificial grass so is soft and non-slip, great for the kids to be running around on.

There is a huge cow statue for the kids to climb on and by the look on Ben`s face in the photo below, you can tell he wasn`t too sure about it!!

All of my 3 boys loved the new barn and it was a hard job to get them to leave!!

Make sure you pay the new barn a visit next time you are at Farmer Palmer`s

I love crafting but with 3 kids and husband to look after time is very, very precious!! Because of this I am constantly on the look out for new crafting gadgets to save me time.

The Xcut Xpress Die-Cutting Machine from docrafts does exactly that. 

It does what it says on the tin!! It`s an A4 die-cut and embossing machine that has a turnable gauge on the top that allows you to adjust the roller level to accommodate all major manufacturers dies. The Xcut allows you to cut/emboss paper, card, felt, foam, fabric and adhesive paper to name just a few materials.

The space saving design is brilliant, it folds in half so only has a small footprint. To me it looks a bit like a sandwich toaster!!
