Fruit Peacock & Hedgehog

15 August 2012 by Eileen

Today, we made a play video to enter a competition by Make Time To Play. The rules are simple, we need to submit a play video to Make Time 2 Play to inspire other families with a good play idea. They will then put the videos out to public vote and announce the winner during Play Fest on Thursday 6th September 2012 at 9.50pm. Mr K made a Fruit Peacock and Ms C made a Fruit Hedgehog. We need these following ingredients:

Fruit Peacock

For Fruit Peacock:

  • Red grapes, green grapes and strawberries, for feather decoration.
  • Pineapple, for the peacock’s body, or you can choose your own fruit.
  • Carrots, for the neck and head of the peacock.
  • Long BBQ wooden sticks, cocktail sticks and colourful paper for the peacock’s crown.
  • Black marker pen to draw the eyes.

Fruit Hedgehog

For Fruit Hedgehog:

  • Blueberries, for decoration.
  • Melon, for the body – or you can choose your own fruit.
  • Carrots, for the head of the hedgehog.
  • Cocktail sticks.
  • Black marker pen to draw the eyes.

This is our video upload: https://youtu.be/HDnihHQTpDU

I think these are great party foods for kids! What do you think? Hope you all enjoy our video and vote for us between 28 August 2012 to 6 September 2012! Thank you all!

Hello!

Welcome to ET Speaks From Home!

Hi, I’m Eileen — a mum of two teenagers, aged 18 and 16, and a passionate lifestyle blogger sharing snippets of family life, creativity, and culture since May 2012. My daughter lives with visual impairment, and our journey together has shaped much of the heart behind this blog.

What started as a small space to document family memories has grown into a vibrant corner of the internet where I share my love for cooking, crafting, DIY projects, Chinese culture, parenting, and honest product and YouTube reviews. Whether I’m creating festive crafts, exploring Chinese traditions, or trying out new recipes, I hope to inspire others through everyday moments from home.

Over the years, ET Speaks From Home has been recognised by several parenting and blogging communities, including:

* Top 20 UK Parent Blogs (2020)
* Tots100 Top 20 Blog on Twitter (2014)
* Tots100 Top Mummy Vloggers (2015)
* Tots100 Top 20 Vloggers (2016)
* Shortlisted for the BritMums Brilliance in Blogging Awards (BiBs), Video Category (2014)

Thank you for stopping by and being part of our journey. I hope you’ll find inspiration, useful tips, cultural insights, and a little joy here at ET Speaks From Home. Read More…
