Shimmer & Shine Craft Egg Review

This Easter holiday break, instead of getting stuffed with chocolate Easter eggs, why not try occupying your little ones with a craft egg instead? We have received this Shimmer and Shine craft egg to entertain Ms C. This craft egg from Sambro, is a perfect way to encourage creativity, imagination and hand coordination.

Easter Breakfast at Wyevale Garden Centre

Did you know that Wyevale Garden Centre is currently running an Easter event for you and your family to have breakfast with the cute Easter bunny? The session lasts for approximately 90 minutes and is suitable for children between 2–10 years old.

Both children were so excited when I told them that we were going have breakfast with the bunny! They both were looking forward to sharing their meal and of course getting a lot of chocolate too!

Choc Nibbles Easter Garden

This Easter, Choc Nibbles set us a challenge to use a variety of Choc Nibbles flavours by either baking them, eating them or decorating with them. I decided to create an Easter Garden. I filled the flower pots with a mixture of different flavoured yummy delicious Choc Nibbles.

They have seven different varieties: Original Choc Nibbles, Toffee Crumble, Choc Lick, Orange Choc Nibbles, Mint Choc Nibbles, and two brand new to the range: Jammie Choc Nibbles and Posh Original Choc Nibbles.

Easter Chinese Character Activity

This is my third challenge as a Bostik Blogger and this month’s theme is Easter. I have received a crafting box packed full of Easter theme crafts. So I decided to adapt this craft into a learning craft for my children. This Easter craft is great for decoration and for teaching your children to recognise Rabbit in the Chinese word. This is very simple to make.

Hidden Easter Egg Chocolate Truffles

For this Easter, I decided to make these delicious hidden mini Easter egg chocolate truffles for my little guests. This recipe is inspired by Co-Operative Food Home Bake’s March week 2 chocolate truffles recipe. I was going to make a huge centrepiece dessert recipe – a chocolate egg filled with chocolate mousse but changed my mind at the last minute, and decided to make these simple chocolate truffles with hidden mini eggs.

Having family time during Easter Holidays!

This year Easter, we didn’t have any plans except having plenty of family time.  It has been a very busy year for Mr C with his work and holidays tend to be ‘staycations’ at the moment!  So we have used these long weekends playing games at home.  Also we are not Christian hence we don’t celebrate with family or friends.

It was such a perfect day to play football and badminton with the kids!  Mr K loved playing football with Mr C while I did a bit of gardening and Ms C loves playing on the swing.  We are very proud of her as she is able to get up on the swing and swing by herself now.  She was unable to do so a couple of months ago but one day she just got it!

How to make an Easter Bonnet Hat using Paper Plate

Last Friday, I received a letter from school that there will be an Easter Bonnet competition.  My son loves to get involved in each of the school activities and so we decided to make one.  I have to be honest that I always love to recycle their crafts as much as possible.  I did a bonnet hat for Ms C and won a prize before but I couldn’t find it.  So we had to start again.
