Reports of temperatures dropping and the country bracing for the first cold snap of 2012 – we hope you have your hot chocolates, gloves and woolly hats at the ready! We thought we try and warm things up with a reminder of our extra accessories you can purchase to ensure your little one is always ready for the cold days ahead.
Footmuffs
Our deeply padded and fleece lined traditional footmuffs are perfect for keeping those little toes warm. We have footmuffs available for the Zest Vogue, Pop Classic and Pop Vogue. Built with comfort in mind, they have a zip-up design so the top half of our footmuffs can also be removed to leave a fleeced seat liner.
Blankets
Our blankets are the perfect accessory if you’re taking your pram or pushchair for a stroll on a cold day and you want to keep your little ones tucked up for any journey. We have our colourful striped knitted cotton blanket available in Juicy Tonal and Stripe Tonal, for that extra splash of colour. We also have our single coloured luxury fleece blankets for that extra comfort, available in Charcoal, Lilac, Lime and White.
We would love to see photographs of your little one wrapped up and ready for the snow that’s due in the coming weeks. You can share your photos on our Facebook page and Twitter profile.

If you’ve been having the odd rainy day and not sure what to do to keep the little ones entertained, we have a few activities lined up! We recommend all our activies are completed under the supervision of adults, with extra care whilst using the scissors, or sharp objects!
“Stay tidy organiser”
Having craft fun, whilst helping your child stay organised, a win-win in our eyes!
What you’ll need:
- Coloured paper, recycled paper, newspaper or tissue paper
- Empty laundry soap box
- Scissors
- PVC glue
- Images for decoration (could be a print out of their favourite television character)
- Pencils, pens, felt tips, glitter
Method:
- Make sure the empty laundry box is clean and draw remove the lid/top with scissors (adult supervision)
- Pencil an outline (diagonally across, leaving three quarter of space) on both front panels. You can choose a bubble design or any other design you’ll like)
- Cut carefully around your pencil design and cut one side panel – resembling a organiser folder
- Time to decorate!
- Cover each panel (one by one) with PVC glue and place a base layer of paper, tissue, or newspaper
- Ask your little one to draw on paper or use previous crafty creations
- Decorate the box with what you like and place a large name tag (in glitter or felt tip pen)
- Put your little one’s reading books ready for bedtime reading!

Have that personal touch with home made wrapping paper – perfect for personalising each gift!
What you’ll need:

We love people sharing their photos on our Facebook page of our Silver Cross prams – past and present! We have a wonderful collection of shared photographs from around the world, which you can view here.
Recently, OK! Magazine revealed Alex Gerrard taking her daughter Lourdes out for a stroll in none other than our Award Winning Surf!
Being well-known for her fashion, it was no surprise that she was coloured co-ordinated with her Black Birkin bag, Blackberry phone and our Surf pram.
