Aaargh EASTER?! I hear you exclaim? What? But Easter is aaaages away… yes yes, I know, but… the kids don’t really care that we made Easter Eggs Chicks already, they just had fun. If you want to make these, you have to start on some egg blowing (check out how on my How To Make Easter Eggs Post)  and collecting of empty egg shells AND I saw some tissue paper wibbly wobbly eggs on 5 Orange Potatoes and really wanted to try the “Tissue paper” technique  out! So Easter Eggs Chicks you have! …

Ever since we went to Birthday party a few weeks back and Red Ted received an Angry Birds keyring he has been “at me” to make more Angry Birds for him. So finally, I did… we made some Angry Birds Easter eggs.

Our favourite the Red Angry Bird egg:

I “Blew the Eggs” out. Painted the Angry Birds eggs with acrylic colours (here is a tip showing you how to stick them on little sticks for painting – no fingerprints or unpainted areas). Used “funky foam”, card and felt for beaks, eyebrows …

Welcome. As you know, our Dolls’ House is an ongoing project. As I add room by room and detail for detail. I was very pleased with the shell sink and the shower I showed you last time and we had lots of fun decorating the house for Christmas! Today I have  simple bed pattern. I made it to fit our dolls.

Thick card, stanley knife, …

Hello! Remember our Four Seasons of 2011? Well… I wanted to start another set of Four Seasons with both children for 2012. I think it is a wonderful way to explore the seasonal changes and I noticed that Red Ted really enjoyed the process last year and that he gets that something keeps changing in his environment. He loves saying “it is Winter now Mummy, look at the trees” and showing me that he has “understood”. After much oohing and aahing, I decided we would go for a “stained glass” …

Aaah I couldn’t resist sharing this photo with you! After our Cars Party Bonanza yesterday, we “rescued” all the cake decorations (flags and candles basically) and taking our Party Bag Playdough gift, Pip Squeak has been making cake, singing Happy Birthday to Mummy and blowing out candles:

Yay! Finally “The Big Day” came. And it went. You spend weeks looking forward and preparing for something and then it passes in a flash! Today was Red Ted’s long awaited homemade cars party!!!
So far we have only ever had “family” parties for the children’s Birthdays and this year was the first time we had “lots of children”. Having a typical UK house and being in the middle of Winter, space was an issue, so we were limited to 8 children in total. Which meant four 4 years olds and …

Yes yes.. I know that you know already.. that we are having a CARS PARTY this week! And that that is all I have been talking about for days now. I made 2.5kg of play dough at the weekend to go in the goodie bags. I tested our Balloon Car Racing and now I made some traffic light cookies on a stick! What I love about these traffic light cookies, is that you need no “specialist” equipment – e.g. I made cars too, but you do need a car cookie …
