Did you join us on Wednesday for the Plasticine Softeez Twitter party? We all had a lovely time with UKMumstv and Plasticine on Twitter #PlasticineSofteez. It was very manic as usual and I tweeted about my children’s and guests’ creations!
First, we started off using the under the sea kits by splitting the children into two groups. We challenged them to make an underwater scene. They could either use the tools provided or freestyle. Both groups were very competitive and they made mermaids, octopuses and other sea creatures. Next, they presented their creations on the under the sea plastic sheet.

Recently, I have received a packet of Star Hero Foam Stickers from Baker Ross. I decided to make it into a story board and encourage my children to perform their own storytelling. This storytelling board encourages your child to use their imagination and creativity.
Before I handed the foam stickers and card over to my children, I explained to them how this Super Hero Story Telling worked. The black card is like their story board and they can be as creative as they want by using the foam.
Baseball cakelet is a recipe I found on Cupcake Envy by Amy Eilert published by Tuttle Publishing. She is a self-taught cake designer whose love of baking and working with her hands found a perfect outlet in cake making. She founded Cupcake Envy in Wake Forest, North Carolina in 2006. In this book, it showcases a range of her cleverly single-serving cakelets that resemble a stylish party dress, a desktop humidor, a cheery coffee cup, an adorable baby bottle, a wicked voodoo doll, a stylish purse and even a baseball!
Last weekend, we went to Honda Colliers opening event at Birmingham as Brendan Lynch, Series 3 #GBBO finalist was there to teach baking! Of course, at the same time, we also looking for our next new car.
Brendan showed us how to make Choux Cygnets. I was so happy to be able to speak to him and at the same time, I was also able to practise making it too.
