Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
This is my tenth challenge as a Bostik Blogger and this month’s theme is Halloween. Once again, I have received a crafting box packed with coloured paper, ribbons, foams, Blu Tack Glu Dots, Blu Tack Glu & Fix and many more Halloween themed items.
As we were provided three mini paper plates, we decided to make three different types of Halloween paper plate crafts: Pumpkin, Spider and Web.
This year, we are doing things slightly differently with our pumpkin and making it pretty unique. Ms C’s favourite colour is pink and so we decided to paint our Halloween pumpkin pink and call this girly pumpkin Emma.
Last week while both kids were in school, I went to the supermarket and bought a large pumpkin. Always remember to check the surface of a pumpkin for holes or mould, making sure it is firm and not soft.
A huge welcome to Week 36 of the Tuesday Tutorials Pintorials Pin Party! Have you started carving pumpkins for Halloween yet?
A huge welcome to Week 34 of the Tuesday Tutorials Pintorials Pin Party! It was National Cupcake Week last week. Did you bake any cupcakes? Well, I did make a chocolate cherry cupcake with pistachio icing! Do take a look at it!
Cutting paper is one of my favourite childhood crafts. I still remember fondly helping my mother to cut the Chinese characters to paste onto food items for offering to the Buddha and his followers.
Mr K is a very creative boy and I had asked him what would he like me to carve. So I let him design his pumpkin using a permanent maker. This is his crazy teething pumpkin which I used the pumpkin seeds as his teeth. As for the ears, I used the leftover pumpkin skin with toothpick to poke it into the pumpkin itself. So I decided to carve a Pac Man to eat his crazy teething pumpkin. Planting the pumpkin seeds into the flesh of the pumpkin is not easy as it kept popping out. Hope you all like it!
