Glow in the dark fun!


Great Idea to keep the kids entertained and can be used as a temporary night light!
Things you will need:
  • Jars
  • Glow in the dark paint
  • Paint brushes
  • Paper
  • Glitter (optional)
  • Glue (optional)


Firstly set out an open area and place all of the equipment in front of you. Next pour out a small amount of the glow in the dark paint onto the paper ( if you are using several colours keep them separate). Dip your paintbrush into the paint and starting from the bottom using a dipping motion start to add small dots around the jar.

Creating small dots around the jar make sure you leave room for other colours (optional). If you are planning on inputting more than one colour make sure you wait until the first set of paint dries as adding extra colour may cause smudging.

Once you have covered the jar and the paint is dry place it in the sunlight for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Whilst your jar is 'charging up' take the lid and cover with one thin layer of glue and add the glitter. 

As soon as the glue has dried tap the lid to remove excess sparkle. 

The next step is to put the lid on the jar and place in a dark room and watch as the glowing paint created a firefly effect.

Many people use glow in the glow stick fluid however this is a temporary solution. Using glow in the dark paint will last forever

Christmas Awareness

Did you know that real Christmas treat can trigger allergies or asthma? Your baby may react to the  mould spores that Christmas trees filter into the air and the pollen.

Ways to reduce reactions:





  • Only bring the tree in when necessary ie  leave it outside until Christmas eve or even better Christmas day. 
  • Make sure you spray the tree down and wait for it to dry before bringing it into the home.
  • Cleanse the tree and stand.
  • Change the trees water every 3 - 4 days.


Being a parent and experiencing a reaction from a certain type of tree may be beneficial to choose a different type, you may find that you feel some sort of irritation from a tree inside when you have never experienced any irritation outside, this is because the pollen and mould spores are being released into the air and picked up by the wind and filtered away.




If you like to use other natural decorations, such as boughs or wreaths, make sure that you take the same care with them as you do with your Christmas tree. Mould spores love damp evergreens, so you will need to spray water on anything you bring indoors and shake it dry before hanging it up. 

Artificial trees and decorations are safer all round for babies, toddlers and pregnant women as there is no needles left around the home for the toddles to pick up, there is no pollution of the air and they are light, easier and cleaner for pregnant women.

Free Fun with the kids

Precious Poppets Kids Clothing 

Here at Precious Poppets we know that may day to day activities with the kids can make a dint in the back pocket, we would like to show you a few activities you can now do with the kids for free just using everyday household objects and making them fun.
We know that the British sun doesn't come around often however wouldn't it be a great idea for the kids to make a outdoor den? All you will need is a clothes line and a old bedding sheet, this will be great for the children to have a summer picnic.
If you already have a clothes line then all you will need to do is throw over the bedding sheet and secure it round the edges with weights, if you haven't got a clothes line a long piece of string or rope would work great, just attach it from end to end of the garden and there you go, a free den for the kids to play in. This could be used as a large group activity such as a BBQ or if your a single parent just wanting to have a fun time with your child.
Another great summer activity would be to to do some family painting, as you can see to the left the Ladybirds would look great for the kids to make the garden more colourful and exiting to be in. For this activity you will need a pencil, red, black and white paint and varied sized rocks.
 Firstly we would recommend to stencil an outline for the ladybug so a face, beetle back line and spots, this will make it a lot easier for the kids as they will have a guide line as to where they can paint.
Secondly get painting, this will be a great idea for a family activity so the kids can watch their parental guardian and you'll be finished with not only a great object but a piece of memorabilia .

Precious Poppets in Stockport  are a small running business in Edgerley selling brand new Designer Children's Clothing at discounted prices. We hope you liked our ideas on our free/ Cheap activities with the kids.

Decorating the kids Bedrooms

Precious Poppets would like to inspire you with children's fantasy bedrooms. Imagine stepping into a 5 year old child's world, look thought their eyes, imagine what they would see.
We will also provide more simple bedroom ideas for those of you who are a little less creative.

Precious Poppets pride themselves on not only being a provider of designer children's clothing but inspirational guiders for caring parents and guardians. In this blog were just going to run through some great experimental ideas for decorating the kids bedrooms, we are going to run through boys and girls nursery's, toddlers rooms, children's and teenager just to make sure we don't miss anyone out.

The first rooms we are going to look at are the boys and girls nurseries
Take a look at this beautifully decorated, elegant yet simple nursery for a little girl. The bright pink settled down by the silver walls and white fixtures. This is prefect for the typical 'girlie girl'

The design is so simple it could be a case of re wallpapering and a coat of paint.

There is one thing we would change about this and that would be to add a chair, as you know babies wake up at all times of the night. Keeping the baby in its bedroom surroundings will help it build up a routine.

Here at Precious Poppets we love this design for a baby boys room, not only is it a beautiful shade of aqua blue running through the furnishings but it is also  minimal  in furniture and toys.

Keeping plenty of storage in is very important, as the boy grows up there will be plenty of toys to pack away.
Another great idea would be to decorate the ceiling with stencils or stickers. Click here for more ideas.
