Save the date! You are invited to my Rusty Rivets Twitter Party on Thursday 16th March from 4.30 to 6 pm! So remember to make yourself available! I will be taking part in this Twitter Party along with other bloggers to host a fun-filled and educational party. We will be playing a series of party games and will share our activities from our parties.
Did you join us yesterday for Blaze and the Monster Machines Twitter party? We all had a lovely time with UKMumstv and Nick Jr on Twitter #NickJrBlaze. It was very manic as usual and I tweeted about my children’s creations!
Yesterday was the Blaze and the Monster Machines première and it was our first time watching it! My son totally loves it! It is definitely an animated cartoon he will watch again and again! It is about AJ, an 8 year old techie who drives monster-truck Blaze, the top racer in Axle City. Blaze is Axle City’s greatest hero and it’s number one racer! Blaze knows everything about science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). Each episode introduces different STEM concepts, including buoyancy and trajectory which are the activities that we did together during the party.
After both children completed their maze, we made these two awesome Blaze Monster cars out of chocolate, Jelly Babies and Smarties! Don’t they look cool!
This coming Friday 6th March, I will be taking part in Blaze and the Monster Machines Twitter Party along with other bloggers to learn through educational STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) focussed activities at home and share our activities from our parties.
Yesterday, we all had such a great NickJrCraftmas party with UKMumstv and Nick Jr on Twitter. It was very manic and I had to reset my laptop once as I was unable to tweet photo. Also I was in Twitter Jail for tweeting too much in a short period of time.
Anyway, we did quite a lot of crafts over the weekend! Firstly, I had used the given reindeer template to cut it out and play Pin the Nose on Rudolph. They were all very close to pinning the nose! Well done to them. If you have notice their eye masks, it is in fact toilet paper! I could not find any blindfold so I used toilet roll to cover the top half of their heads!
Thanks to Nick Jr and UKMumstv who shared this tutorial on how to make a Ben Elf Hat. My daughter complained why I didn’t make a girl elf hat. To make a girl elf hat, you just need to add a pink flower instead of a green leaf.
This coming Monday 1st December, I will be taking part in Nick Jr Christmas Craft Twitter party along with other bloggers to make Christmas crafts and share all the fun ideas from our parties.Join the party on Twitter with me @etspeaksfrom, @NickJrUK and @ukmumstv from 1 pm to 3 pm where there will be some fab prizes to give away. Remember to tweet using #NickJrCraftmas hashtag to win some great prizes and games to take part in, so make sure your laptop, PC or smart device is ready to go as the party starts!
Yesterday, I received a huge box full of #NickJrCraftmas goodies in preparation for the Twitter party. The party box contains eight different types of Christmas crafts to make, two edible craft activities, goodie boxes filled with treats, marshmallow cupcake ingredients, activity sheets and many more! Everything will be revealed soon! Look out for my post-party blog post if you can’t join in with us on Monday.
This Monday, we had a hectic day. After picking the children up from school, we quickly got everyone in for the Dora And Friends Twitter party.
Fortunately I had already prepared all the party stuff beforehand, with a lot sandwiches and finger foods! Before we sat everyone down, they were all given an admittance ticket and walked on the red carpet.
We then started off the first activity to introduce Dora and her friends to the children. Next, they all had to listen carefully for each individual characters’ facts in the show. All children were really concentrating and didn’t make a noise. But there was a reason for that – they knew they would get one lollipop for each question they answered correctly! They didn’t do too badly and managed to guess 8 questions out of 10!
This coming Monday 3rd November, I will be taking part in Dora and Friends premiere Twitter party where there will be some fab prizes to give away. Join the party on Twitter with @etspeaksfrom, @ukmumstv and @NickJrUK from 4 pm to 6 pm. Remember to tweet using #doraandfriends hashtag to win some great prizes and games to take part in, so make sure your laptop, PC or smart device is ready to go as the party starts!
