We have been enjoying alternative fairy tales with Mr Men and Little Miss Story Treasury by Roger Hargreaves to celebrate over 40 years of Mr Men! Who was the first character to be created in the Mr Men series? Why was he created? When was the first Little Misses created?

For each central character of a book there are some simple activities to do with your kids. Here are some of our favourites:
1:Mr Topsy Turvy: After reading Mr Topsy-Turvy we usually play two-three games:
a-Inside Out and Back to Front: We turn our clothes inside out or back to front and the we do everything opposite. So if one of us says forward 
the others in the game must walk backwards. If the next person says run fast then the other players need to go slow and so on.
b-Brain stimulation game: If it is Mr Topsy Turvy time we draw with our other hand and change the hand we usually eat with.
c-Backwards Codes: With older children you can also do the game of talking backwards, which becomes a secret code and creates hours of entertainment. Read the rest of this entry
