The two bank holiday this month seems to have played havoc with my head and I’m not sure what day of the week it is. The weather this month has been beautiful which has allowed us to get outdoors more and start planning on what we are getting up to during half term as well as the upcoming summer holidays.
I’m joining in with Family Four Fun’s #FunFinds linky again this month as I loved the opportunity to tell you about ‘fun finds’ I have seen throughout May.
LEGO® Friends Heartlake City – LEGOLAND Windsor
LEGO® Friends fans are in for a treat at the LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort this May half term as a totally new area brings to life the vibrancy and fun of Heartlake City with exciting new attractions, an action-packed live show AND an all-new exciting equestrian themed ride, Mia’s Riding Adventure. And those who want a double whammy dose of LEGO Friends can check into one of the recently opened premium themed rooms at the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort Hotel.
The all-new Heartlake City themed area opens on 23 May when guests can step into the colourful world of the LEGO Friends. The unmistakable exterior of the Heartlake Mall gives a stunning harbour-side backdrop for the exciting new live show ‘Friends to the Rescue!’ featuring Mia, Andrea, Stephanie, Emma and Olivia. Fans can join the girls on an action-packed adventure full of surprises and sing and dance along to their favourite LEGO Friends songs. Then guests can head over to the Heartlake City Express for a gentle train journey through the LEGO countryside, before taking a more energetic equestrian turn on Mia’s Riding Adventure. This horseback adventure spins riders through the air, travelling backwards and forwards on a circular spinning ‘race track’. Plus at Olivia’s House little LEGO builders can help build a home for one of Olivia’s pets and Emma’s Ice Cream Parlour will be dishing up some delicious desserts.

All Frozen: Early Science apps connect to the Disney Imagicademy Parents app, giving parents the ability to see what their children are discovering, making and building in the apps. The Parents app was created with the belief that parents and care givers are an integral part of every child’s learning process. It provides parents a window into their child’s accomplishments digitally and remotely, as well as ideas to extend the principles of observation, experimentation and deduction into the everyday world.
Frozen: Early Science is available now for £4.99 and Disney Imagicademy Parents, available for free, can be downloaded now for iPad and iPhone on the App Store.
