A while ago I came across the cutest book teaching children about Malaria, and thus my love for the Sibo says series was born.
Since then I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to get to know and work with the increadibly talented author, Ginny Stone on another of her amazing book series, the beautiful Value series.
If you have not yet been introduced to the Sibo Says books, which are all avaliable on Amazon , pop over to the website and take a peek.
From 2015 to 2019 Ginny Stone wrote a weekly blog in the African Reporter as Sibo.
These blogs covered a wide variety of topics from bullying, family life, making things, science and life skills to being brave and staying healthy.
In May 2019, the blog won a global award and the best of those blogs was published into a book, now avaliable on Amazon.
Having just launched the 15th book in the Sibo says series, Ginny strives to teach children valuable life lessons through a relatable character.
The beautifully illustrated books are all written in rhyme that engages children and adults alike.
Her new book Sibo stays healthy focuses on how our children can stay safe following healthy practices like sneezing into a tissue and washing their hands regularly.
But you will find topics on
The Sibo says blog is a wealth of information, activities and resources for parents, teachers and children.
Pick a colouring sheet, spot the difference activity, word search or take a fun quiz.

We recently had this beautiful composite photo made for Hamish, imagining him in a land of dinosaurs chatting to Dennis the diplodocus.
We had spent the day before taking images, because with social distancing we couldn’t get Ally to take the photo. I told Hamish I wanted to get photos of him pretending he had seen a dinosaur.
After receiving this increadibly special photo, I told Hamish I had seen him dreaming, and that in his dream he was talking to a diplodocus and so I took a photo.
He was delighted. My dino loving boy suddenly had a photo depicting his favourite adventure.

We recently recieved a Barbie Dream Big Board Game.
As a huge fan of Barbie, a mom and an educator I was excited when I sat down with designer Janine Van Schalkwyk, a mom of 3, and listened to her inspirations behind this innovative new board game that is designed to encourage and empower our young girls to “Dream big” .
This Proudly South African career based board game, developed around the iconic Barbie brand, is designed for girls age 8 to 12 years old to encourage them to know that they can “Be Anthing”, just like Barbie.
To date Barbie, who started her career 60 years ago as a fashion model, has added over 200 careers to her resume. Representing a diverse number of careers from rock star to CEO.
The Barbie Dream Big Board Game encourage young girls to envision themselves in a future career path by emphasizing the brand’s core message that “YOU CAN BE ANYTHING” and equiping them with real – life insights that encourage the discussion of topics such as – individual identity, subject choices,study options, personal talents and business ethics.
Each board game comprises of :
The game is for 2 to 8 players. Whilst aimed at girls age 8 – 12 , younger girls could play with assistance.
A great family game and a wonderful resource in the modern day classroom.
Each player starts by choosing a figurine and takes a turn to spin the spinner in the centre of the flower on the board game.
The first person to land on pink starts the game.
The game continues clockwise and whatever colour the spinner stops on, that is the colour card you pick up.
The objective of the game, as you move around the board, is to answer the fun yt eeducational and challenging cards that have been divided into topics of :-
The cards are colour coded and focus on 4 career paths …
1. Business (teal) – focusing on age appropriate insight on how to build a business and brand.
2. Help and Service (yellow) – focusing on comunity building careers and inspiring girls to give back to their community.
3. STEM (purple) – focusing on exposing girls to a variety of role models in the often under represented career paths of Science, Tehnology, Engineering and Mathematics.
4. Creative (pink) – focusing on the creative opportunities in arts, performance art, fashion, interior design, cooking and baking.
The cards present challenging questions that will encourage your child to find answers, learn more and think outside the box whilst preparing our young girls for the tomorrow of their dreams.
Barbie Dream Big board game is currently available at retail outlets including Toys R Us, ToyKingdom, C.N.A, Checkers, Reader’s Warehouse and Takealot for R399.90.

When bear was 6 weeks old we started with Vanessa at her very first Moms and Babes class in Tableview.
Bear fell in love with Vanessa from that first class. In her soft gentle manner she taught me many things over our moms and babes journey.
Bear made some of the cutest friends and I loved watching him advance in his milestones as he learnt a new skill in class.
We both enjoyed the social engagement and as I was in a moon boot for most of his moms and babes lessons Vanessa often stepped in and helped bear with his lesson.
One of the best things we invested in were his moms and babes and moms and tots classes.
You can win a free term for your little babe of 6 weeks to 6 months at the Tableview moms and babes branch in Cape Town.
Show us your cute handmade father’s day cards and we will choose a winner on the 12 June 2018.
Like both Moms and babes Tableview and Fun mamma SA on Facebook and post your cards to the Fun mamma SA Facebook page.
