About Coal Drops Yard<\/p>\n

Coal Drops Yard is a new shopping and restaurant district in London\u2019s King\u2019s Cross.

New Gruffalo Games Launch for Christmas!<\/h3>\n

www.yaygames.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

FACEBOOK<\/a> | TWITTER<\/a><\/p>\n

The much-loved Gruffalo picture book, written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, has been transformed into a collection of four-games-in-one \u2013 \u201cGames from the deep, dark wood\u201d \u2013 that\u2019s set to top Christmas wish lists this year. The four games each focus on a different part of the Gruffalo story, take just seconds to master and last around ten minutes, with a different challenge for players aged 4+ every time!<\/p>\n

\u2018His eyes are orange\u2026\u2019 is a card collecting game, the aim is to be the first player to collect five Mouse tokens. Players win a Mouse token every time they complete a set of Owl, Snake or Fox cards.<\/p>\n

\u2018Oh help! Oh no!\u2019 is a dexterity game where the winner is the first to hide all their Mouse tokens in the right place on the deep, dark wood board. Players pick cards that show where their Mouse should be hidden and throw their Mouse token to land in that spot on the board. If they hit it, the Mouse can stay but if they miss, they take their token back and try again.<\/p>\n

In \u2018The deep, dark wood\u2019 game, players compete to match their cards to those on the table showing pictures of either the Gruffalo, Mouse or woodland, then place them next to each other to create a long winding path. If they don\u2019t have a matching card, players pick a new card from the deck in the middle. The winner is the first to get rid of all their cards!<\/p>\n

\u2018What\u2019s a gruffalo?\u2019 is a memory game where players complete their image of a Gruffalo first to win. Each player is given a board and ten Gruffalo tiles in their chosen colour. The tiles are placed colour side up while each player takes it in turns to select a card featuring a Gruffalo body part. Players then reveal one of their tiles to see if it matches the card and place it on their board. The first player to add all their tiles to the board is the winner!<\/p>\n

The games are for ages 4+ and suitable for 2-4 players. Available from the 22 November in Waterstones, John Lewis, Hamleys and Amazon. RRP \u00a324.99<\/p>\n

Two Moms Create Grandy to Nurture Grandparent\/Grandchild Connection and Enrich the Family Dynamic<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Digital Platform Connects Grandparents and Grandchildren Despite Busy Schedules<\/p>\n

Or Living Miles Apart<\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO (November 19, 2019) \u2013 Dedicated mothers and female entrepreneurs Jennifer Rhodes and Rotem Skurnik today announced the launch of Grandy, a subscription service designed to enhance the natural bond between children and their grandparents while bringing joy to both generations. For parents wanting to keep family bonds intact in the face of geographical distance and increasing work-life challenges, Grandy\u2019s unique digital service provides an easy, safe and private platform that features engaging, structured and incentivized interactions intended specifically to enhance these special family relationships.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Rhodes, CEO and founder of Grandy, is a busy working mom who was in search of an easy way to keep her children and parents connected. \u201cI wanted my kids to create and maintain meaningful relationships with their grandparents before the opportunity slipped away,\u201d said Rhodes. \u201cBut I needed something easy for my mom to use, a digital platform that specialized in onboarding older adults, and that my kids were also motivated to use. And Grandy was born.\u201d<\/p>\n

Co-founder Rotem Skurnik had the same concerns. \u201cMy parents live over 500 miles from us,\u201d Skurnik noted, \u201cso it was difficult for my kids to stay connected with their grandparents on a regular basis. There\u2019s an expectation that there are so many ways to solve this with technology, but there just wasn\u2019t anything out there that my kids would use and that my parents would understand at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grandy is a fun and easy-to-use solution that works seamlessly on computers, tablets and mobile devices, ensuring that family members can keep in touch anywhere and anytime. Grandy\u2019s content, features and capabilities are designed for grandparents and children (ages five to 17), and offer a range of activities, game of the week, reminders and levels of engagement that can be curated to the individual needs and interests of each user.<\/p>\n

The key functions include sending messages with photos or videos, scheduling video dates with grandparents, playing interactive weekly games together such as card games, jigsaw puzzles and word puzzles, and conducting storytelling interviews with grandparents that feature engaging topics and questions that can also be retrieved in the archived files. All Grandy functions are reinforced with reminders or \u201cnudges\u201d along the way to help kids build healthy habit structures.<\/p>\n

Research shows that most grandparents and grandchildren are not using existing digital platforms to communicate, even though nearly all kids in today\u2019s world prefer to use digital platforms to connect. Grandy has been designed specifically to overcome this disconnect and utilize technology to close the circle between a family\u2019s older and younger generations.<\/p>\n

According to Grandy\u2019s Senior Connectivity Study conducted through Stanford University\u2019s Institutional Review Board (IRB), having meaningful and consistent interactions with grandchildren is a vital factor in lowering loneliness and positively impacting overall health, happiness and well-being of grandparents. Building and maintaining the special relationship that children have with their grandparents has also shown to be significant in developing family legacy, wisdom and empathy in children. Grandy encourages young people to engage in positive and fun interactions with their grandparents while giving seniors the opportunity to have a more powerful voice and influence in their grandchildren\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

Grandy encourages interaction by letting kids collect entertaining badges once the \u201cLove Tank\u201d feature on the platform is filled by consistently using the platform to connect and engage with their grandparents. Kids can earn badges and then receive customizable gifts from their parents such as fun outings, sweet treats, movie nights, and more.<\/p>\n

Grandy acts as a repository of memories, history and intergenerational wisdom shared among family members. Rather than providing a platform for quick chats and messages captured in short clips and evanescent images, Grandy represents spots of time that are built to last and can be revisited and shared with others. Parents can see all communication and activity, and messages can be saved and downloaded to capture fleeting moments and memorable experiences for all time. Grandy is a private subscription service that protects users\u2019 information and does not engage in data or ad sharing.<\/p>\n

For seamless onboarding, Grandy\u2019s Basic membership starts at $49.99 per year or $9.99 per month and offers the standard services along with a telephone concierge to help grandparents easily set up and use the platform. Premium memberships are $79.99 per year, which includes a dedicated family Concierge available for continued support throughout the year. In-person memberships are $129.99 per year and feature special in-person visits and annual tech update visits that will be available in limited areas across the country.

Parents hiring babysitters to act as \u2018hangover childcare\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The UK\u2019s leading online childcare platform has revealed there is a growing trend of \u2018hangover childcare\u2019, after seeing requests for babysitters following festive celebrations increase by more than 500% compared with this time last year. A survey of its parent members revealed that 85% would consider hiring a babysitter because of a hangover, with the majority answering it would help them recover quicker, and a third saying they aren\u2019t good parents while hungover.<\/p>\n

The UK\u2019s leading online childcare platform has discovered a growing trend of \u2018hangover childcare\u2019, after seeing requests for babysitters following festive celebrations increase by more than 500% compared with this time last year.<\/p>\n

This year, more than 1,800 parents have already requested childcare the day after festive celebrations in December and early January via the platform\u2019s free Babysitter Jobs feature.<\/p>\n

The research, commissioned by Childcare.co.uk, found that there\u2019s been more than a 500% spike in requests from parents and guardians looking for childcare the morning after Friday 20th December (also known as Frantic Friday), one of the most popular dates for Christmas parties, New Year\u2019s Day and the day after Boxing Day (December 27th), when compared to the same period in 2018.<\/p>\n

Members of the public can book a \u2018hangover\u2019 babysitter, and view the full results of the research here: https:\/\/www.childcare.co.uk\/news\/hangoverchildcare<\/p>\n

To gain more insight into the research, Childcare.co.uk asked more than 2,000 of its parent members if they would consider hiring \u2018hangover childcare\u2019, with 85% answering \u2018yes\u2019. When asked why, more than half (53%) answered \u2018to help them recover quicker\u2019 and a third (31%) said \u2018I\u2019m not a good parent while hungover\u2019.<\/p>\n

Childcare.co.uk is a platform which allows parents to search for and connect with babysitters, childminders, nannies, nurseries, private tutors and schools and also allows childcare providers to advertise their services. The site has more than 2 million users nationwide and is the largest online community for parents in the UK having launched in 2009.<\/p>\n

Richard Conway, founder of Childcare.co.uk, said,<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we launched Childcare.co.uk back in 2009, we\u2019ve tailored our service so parents can find suitable childcare, whatever their requirements, at the click of a button. As a parent myself I can understand why people might be looking for hangover childcare, especially during the festive period and after their work Christmas parties. I\u2019m very interested to see whether this trend continues to grow next year too!\u201d<\/p>\n

The average Brit consumes 3 days worth of calories on Christmas day!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00b7 A new report by Wren Kitchens reveals that the average Brit consumes over 5,000 calories on Christmas day alone.<\/p>\n

. UK households are still frivolously over buying at Christmas, resulting in \u00a3485 million of food is wasted at Christmas.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Wren have created some top tips to help you to avoid binging over the festive period.<\/p>\n

Christmas is known to be the season for piling on the calories and over-indulging on festive delights. A study by Wren Kitchens reveals that the average Brit manages to make their way through 5,905 calories on Christmas day alone, that is the same as eating 12 big macs! This feast is nearly three times the recommended daily allowance (RDA).<\/p>\n

According to the survey of 2,000 Brits, the results also revealed that the UK\u2019s shopping and eating habits are equating to \u00a316 billion of food waste. What\u2019s even more shocking is that \u00a3485 million of that is during Christmas week alone!<\/p>\n

Counting calories appears to be a taboo during the festive period, with an astonishing 70% of Brits admitting that they simply don’t worry about their food intake over Christmas. We wonder how many regret this by the new year!<\/p>\n

If the famous song came true and it really was Christmas everyday, then the average Brit would be 26 stone heavier by Christmas 2020!<\/p>\n

With shoppers frivolously overspending in the festive season, Brits end up wasting an incredible amount of food, with Northern Ireland and secondly South East England being the biggest culprits.<\/p>\n

5 Tips to avoid binging over the Christmas period<\/p>\n

Wren Kitchens have rounded up some practical approaches that you can take on-board to help you avoid binging over the festive period and stay on track of your fitness goals.<\/p>\n

1. Don’t go to a Christmas party hungry<\/p>\n

It can be hard to resist plates full of delicious food especially if you are attending a party on an empty stomach. Eating a nuitritious meal before the attending the party can ease temptation while allowing for a small indulgence later<\/p>\n

2. Focus on how much alcohol you are consuming<\/p>\n

Drinking over the festive period is tricky to avoid but it can be made manageable. An easy way to manage consumption is to drink a glass of water between every alcoholic beverage. Also try to avoid too many sugary drinks such as mulled wine and cocktails, instead opt for a gin and slimline tonic or a glass of wine.<\/p>\n

3. Stay hydrated<\/p>\n

During the busy festive season it can be easy to forget to drink enough water. Drinking water helps to main bodily functions from digestion, controlling of calories and absorption of nutrients. Always remember to carry a bottle of water on your festive travels.<\/p>\n

4. Get plenty of sleep<\/p>\n

Tiredness can cause drowsiness but can also lead to overeating. With a busy social calendar over the festive period it can be hard to get a correct sleeping routine but it is important to try and maintain at least 7 hours of sleep a night.<\/p>\n

5. Don’t be afraid to say no<\/p>\n

Don’t be afraid to say ‘no’ to food that you know you shouldn’t have. You don’t always have to feel obliged to eat what other people are giving you. When you focus on supporting yourself, it will give you a positive mindset! However, It is important to treat yourself and indulge a little at Christmas.<\/p>\n

Northern Ireland are the biggest offenders for food waste<\/p>\n

The study by Wren Kitchens reveals that Northern Ireland waste the most amount of food not only at Christmas but also throughout the year. Over the Christmas week, the UK wastes over \u00a3485 million of food, contributing to 3% to the yearly cost of food waste.<\/p>\n
