Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
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.
Last week, we went along with the Aiming High group hosted by the Staffordshire County council to a sensory morning at the Gartmore Riding School. This was my children’s first time riding a horse and they were both very excited. When we first reached the school, both were overwhelmed by horse noises and were frightened by them! But after they were introduced us to the ponies and horses, they felt much more at ease.
The first thing we did is to see how they change the horse shoe. After removing the horse shoe, the horse was given a nail filing and a good clean before placing a new one back. It looked a very tedious job to do!
Next they all learnt how to get onto the horse using the saddle and practised on a wooden horse. Once everyone had a turn, we were moved to a new indoor area to ride the horse. Each of them got to practise how to steer the horse and how to stop. Both children were so excited and now we are looking to book a class soon. Ms C was particularly excited as she has always wanted to learn how to ride.
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!

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.
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.
