One thing I’ve loved being a parent is rediscovering much loved characters from my childhood to share with Monkey. There are a number of classic characters who are as loved today as they were 40 plus years ago when I was little. In fact, the best, are all actually older than me, I know that’s hard to believe, but it’s true. One such character is the Dick Bruna classic Miffy, who is celebrating her 60th birthday this year. To celebrate this achievement a new TV series will be launched on Tiny Pop from 2nd October called Miffy’s Adventures Big and Small. The series will be shown at 7pm.
Join Miffy and her friends in Miffy’s Adventures Big and Small and watch 52 episodes of friendly fun. There are lessons to be learnt and new experiences to encounter. I’ve seen a few sneak previews and it really is a lovely series, very much in keeping with the original books.
To celebrate the start of the Miffy’s Adventures Big and Small series on Tiny Pop this Friday, I have a lovely giveaway to offer you, that any Miffy fan is going to love. This lovely Sensory Miffy has 14 sensors which children can press to hear what Miffy has to say.
Sensory Miffy is aimed at children aged 6 months and over and is perfect for little ones to learn about their bodies. For a chance to win this lovely Sensory Miffy, just complete the Gleam form below – good luck! I have 5 to give away!
