## **My Little Sous-Chef**

*My Little Sous-Chef* is a tandem cookbook for kids and parents to use together. The concept comes as two volumes: one cookbook offers instructions for mum and dad (complete with comprehensive directions and photos) while the second shows your child what to do via illustrations and kid-friendly tasks. The 30 recipes inside include mini burgers, pizza muffins and sausage rolls. Teamwork at its finest.  
   
My Little Sous-Chef*, £22*

## **Forever Outnumbered: Tales of Our Family Life from Instagram's Father of Daughters**

Simon Hooper, aka Instagram star Father of Daughters, is set to release his first book. Promising “real life parenting through the eyes of a modern-day dad”, expect more of the same social media sparkle that focuses on Hooper’s four little girls when the book’s published on 3rd May. With 801k followers and counting, we expect Hooper’s tome to impart practical advice delivered with his signature tongue-in-cheek humour.

## **Wonderlab: The Statoil Gallery**

This interactive gallery in the Science Museum is perfect for kids. The new space is designed for seven to 14-year-olds and encourages children to discover the wonder of science. Filled with 50 exhibits, visitors are encouraged to get hands-on: they can race down a giant friction slide, see how clouds form and travel through space under a canopy of stars. The best bit? It’s available to book for birthday parties.  
   
*Science Museum, Exhibition Road, South Kensington, London, SW7 2DD; birthday parties from £15 per child*

## **1 Second Everyday**

This app is one we’ve tried and tested (and loved) ourselves. It does exactly what it suggests – you take one second’s worth of video footage each day (don’t worry, you can cut longer clips into snippets) and merge them to create a week’s, month’s or year’s-worth of video. Quick and really easy to use, it’s an amazing way to document your kids as they grow up. Think *Boyhood* on an iPhone-sized scale.  
   
*Buy via the AppStore, price $4.99*

## **Little Cook Box**

Little Cook Box provides children’s meal kits specially designed for kids aged five to 11 years old. Delivered weekly, the pre-packed healthy meals come pre-chopped, washed and portioned, so your kids can get involved with the cooking (each meal takes 20-30 minutes to prepare). Another bonus? There’s free delivery throughout the UK.
