At the beginning of the summer we were sent a fab "Kids in the Kitchen" goodie box from Betta Living and over the next four weeks I am going to be sharing with you some of the fab activities from this box. NOw I wasn't paid to share these with you, but they are such great activities it would be a crime not to. All the activities are simple, inexpensive and fun to do.
Activity:
Decorating Weetabix is fun (and
healthier than biscuits). See who can create the most colorful and creative critters
or funny faces on their Weetabix! Use fruit instead of sweets to make this even
more healthy!
How long: Up to 1 hour
Cost: £3.50
What you’ll need:
Weetabix (£1.49 for 12), writing icing (£2) or make your own
icing, plus items to decorate - Smarties, M&Ms, strawberry laces,
blueberries, strawberries, vanilla yoghurt, banana.
Directions:
Before the decorating begins you could ask your child to draw out some designs
and ideas, this is a good exercise to encourage creativity. Use the writing
icing to follow the designs.
Using your icing pens (or mix icing sugar
with water to create an icing paste) stick the features on your Weetabix to
create funny faces.
Create
the funniest faces you can think of by sticking on colorful treats such as banana
sweets to create a mouth, Smarties to create and nose and blueberries as eyes!
And why not go against the clock and make it a Weetabix face-painting race?
You
can also do this with biscuits. You can either get creative and bake your own
biscuits or just use regular biscuits – pimp up some digestives or rich tea
biscuits from any supermarket.
When
you’ve finished ask your child to wash up any dirty bowls!
