Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Big waves to all my readers and I hope you are all well! Let’s forget about this virus for now and let me start this post with a big shout out to the lovely reputable toy brand TOMY! As we are running up to Easter soon, I have good news for my readers in that TOMY are giving away all these amazing toys to one of my readers!
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.
After years of modern reinvention, Furby is back and better than ever! This amazing super cute Furby Connect friend gets updates from the Furby Connect World app for the latest Furby phrases, music, and videos. It is suitable for aged six and above. It requires 4 AA batteries and a small flat screwdriver to open the battery compartment which are not included.
Want a quick breakfast to impress your guest? Then you should try this out Eggs in Baguette. This is quick and easy to make. I recently came across this on a TV programme and wanted to make one myself. I must admit that I was quite lazy and bought the baguette from a supermarket.
A huge welcome to Week 14 of the Tuesday Tutorials Pintorials Pin Party! Hope you guys had a great Easter weekend! Both my children are off school for the Easter break and we’ve been looking at all sorts of crafts to keep them occupied. This week I am featuring three different ways of painting eggs!
This Easter, instead of getting chocolate eggs for your children or yourself, why not take a look at these egg-citing Hatch ‘N’ Heroes new range from Bandai!
Hatching your eggs into awesome characters from Disney’s much loved movies heroes like the brand new Big Hero 6 Baymax, classic Toy Story characters Woody and Buzz, fishy friends Nemo and Dory from Finding Nemo and Frozen’s ever-popular Olaf. They will be available in March at ToysRus, Tesco, Smyths Toys superstores and Toymaster at £5.99 each.
During the summer, we had this egg and vinegar science project where I showed my children how acidic the vinegar is that it able to dissolve the egg shells.
To do this project, you will need:
Last Friday, Mr K asked if I can help him to make an Easter Basket to enter his school Easter competition. I was quite happy to do so. Yesterday, we went out through the snow to get some art and craft material in town.
Last Sunday, Mr K and I spent an hour to paint 9 polystyrene eggs. We tried to create our solar system by painting each egg a different colours as close to their own colours as depicted in our astronomy book. We have the Sun and 8 planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
After they all dried, we used a wooden skewer to poke through and thread an elastic string. I also used a plastic plate as the top to hold onto the eggs. Now it is ready as our solar system mobile!
