Move at their own pace – The child shouldn’t feel rushed. They will probably spend a lot of time making chains at first and this is fine, they can make lovely decorations, necklaces…

I have made quite a few Christmas decorations this year in preparation for the tree coming out of our loft, some of which you have already seen, some others will posted as we approach Christmas.
My favourite decorations to make with the children are those which have great achievability regardless of age, that don’t cost the earth, but still looks super cute. This lovely little kit by Flying Tiger

Luxury Coconut Bath Melts
Luxury Coconut Bath Melts
The weather outside is frightful…but inside it’s so delightful…
…Well of course it is, because we have been making luxury homemade Coconut Bath Melts, which gently melt into a warm bath, enriching the bath with moisturising oils and fragrance.
They are great if you suffer from dry skin or eczema and are a relaxing way to end a long day.
Bath Melts also make wonderful gifts as they look so pretty.

Shooting Star - Sugar Scrub
Shooting Star – Sugar Scrub
The temperature has certainly dropped this week, and this cold weather plays havoc with my skin, so I have whipped together some lovely sugar scrub tablets.
These little individual bars are so easy and fun to make and make perfect gifts for friends, family or colleagues. They would also slip very nicely into a Christmas stocking.
I love how versatile they are, you can add any colours or…

How to make a pop-up Christmas card
On a recent trip home, my mum reminded me of the pop up cards we used to make together when I was a child. I particularly remember a rather gorgeous little pop-up wide mouthed frog. However, unless you roll them in glitter, wide mouthed frogs are not especially Christmasy so I thought I would show you how to make this lovely sparkly Christmas tree, which I made with Twinkle this week.
Pop-up…

How to make a drawstring play mat
How to make a drawstring play mat
The temperature has dropped this week and we have been playing inside the house, with the heating turned up. Luckily Sprout got a great big box of Duplo and Lego for his birthday so we have had lots of fun building. However, as any parent with Lego in the house can tell you, it gets EVERYWHERE, and it seriously hurts if you stand on it!
So this week I have been making a drawstring play mat to…

5 benefits of story writing for children - a Peeka Puff adventure
5 benefits of story writing for children – a Peeka Puff adventure
Twinkle and Minty love writing stories. Twinkle can often be found curled up with her notebook, scribbling down adventures which involve her toys and friends.
There are many long term benefits for children who create their own short stories.
Creating new characters and making them come alive with personalities of their own, develops imagination.
It prepares them for future roles, by improving…

This week was the semi-final and therefore it is understandable that we were feeling connected with the remaining 4 contestants. Whoever went this week was going to feel like a loss. Don’t get me wrong, Selasi was the right choice to leave the tent, but he is such a lovable character, that I can’t help but feel sad that he wont be in the final.
The contestants really struggled with patisserie week. Fondant fancies aren’t easy at home, but under pressure in a tent it isn’t surprising they were all somewhat ‘informal’.
I was fascinated by the Savarin. I hadn’t heard of it before and the idea of a half cake, half bread creation soaked in zesty, boozy, syrup sounded too good not to try at home.
As I hadn’t made one before or was even sure what they taste like, I decided to use Paul Hollywoods recipe via the Beeb and not try to experiment with flavours this week.
The smell of this cake when tipped out of the pan, still hot from the oven, was divine. So much better than I imagined. After 2 and a half hours of prepping, proving and baking, I was so happy when I turned it out and it was golden and well…in one piece.
Whilst the Savarin was soaking up the syrup, I prepped the caramel shards.
…and the chocolate tag…I forgot to buy chocolate, so i had to melt down some of the children’s chocolate buttons to make this…shhh don’t tell them and I promise to give them a big slice of cake later.
The children were desperate to help me decorate the cake… I can pretty much guarantee that no contestant from GBBO16 has ever had to contend with three sugar high children..”helping’ so enthusiastically that they had to stop and mop the kitchen floor half way through decorating……
I was really happy with how my Savarin came out. The syrup soaked all the way through the cake, and although I needed to omit the liquor from my version so the children could eat it, it was still really zesty and light.
The sweetness of the Chantilly cream, mixed with the sharp fresh fruit was a delicious combination.
…Right I am off to make a nice cup of tea and enjoy a large slice of cake. Next week is the FINAL!
