If you've ever stood on the streets of West London in August and felt the bass of a steel pan vibrate through your chest, you'll know that Notting Hill Carnival isn't just an event. It's a feeling. And we wanted to bottle that feeling for the little ones in your life.
That's exactly why we created the Discover Notting Hill Carnival Bundle. It's our way of bringing the rhythm, colour, and joy of Carnival into your home, whether you're heading to the parade this summer or simply want your child to understand where this incredible celebration comes from.
What's in the Bundle?
For £27.99 you get a proper little cultural kit packed with things to read, explore and create:
- The Grandma What's That? Notting Hill Carnival storybook, which gently introduces children to the sights and sounds of Carnival through a story they'll want read again and again
- A 100+ page Activity Book full of puzzles, colouring pages, and learning activities designed for children aged 4 to 7
- A FREE Digital Colouring Book sent straight to your inbox as an instant download
What Will My Child Actually Learn?
So much more than you might expect! The bundle covers the history behind Notting Hill Carnival, its Caribbean roots, the music (think calypso, soca and steelpan), the flags, the costumes and the community spirit that makes it so special. It's the kind of learning that doesn't feel like learning at all.
Parents who homeschool have told us it fits beautifully into cultural weeks and Black history topics. Teachers have used it in classrooms. And plenty of families have simply enjoyed it together on a rainy afternoon at home.
Who Is It For?
Honestly? Any family who wants their child to grow up curious about the world around them. It's especially wonderful if you're:
- Heading to Notting Hill Carnival this summer and want to prepare your little one
- Looking for diverse books and educational gifts for kids in the UK
- Homeschooling and covering multicultural or Caribbean topics
- Searching for screen-free activities rooted in Black British culture
- Wanting a meaningful gift that goes beyond the usual
A Note From Us
At Nine Mile Babies, everything we make starts with the same question: does this help a child see themselves in the story? We believe diverse books for kids aren't a nice-to-have. They're essential. And Carnival, with all its beauty and history, deserves to be celebrated in our children's bookshelves too.
We hope this bundle brings as much joy to your home as it brought us to create it. Happy Carnival season! 🎉
