From then she worked backstage as a seamstress, dressing West End shows, creating high end fashion garments/costumes for various theatres across the south west.

We absolutely adore these Jelly Blox and so did the kids. All the creative fun of giant size lego combined with masses of sensory delight with so many different textures and feels. The Bloxs contain various fillings like sand, gel, beads and more. Super squishy yet solid enough to build with. No more stepping on sharp bloxs... always a bonus! These seem pretty much indestructable too and we love just how easy it is to just throw them in a bowl and give them a good clean. An absolute must for all children but especially those with sensory needs will absolutely adore these.
