Playing Shadowlands? This Song Is For You!

Playtime With Bing - Deleted Blog Post Series

Back last year, I should've done a series of blog posts themed around new episodes of Bing, titled 'Playtime With Bing'. Each blog post will center around some fun activities themed around each new episode of the show, but sadly...I slept in because I was near to the end of my teen years. Here are some links so you can relive each new moment Bing and Flop experienced last year through activities with your child:
Vaccination - ULP!

Charlie Did It - Spend some Charlie-Coco time with your baby!

She-Ra's Trip To Japan - Japanese Music

Adora, Bow and Glimmer have been to a Japanese folk music festival and the music they heard was lovely and true to its culture. The one true music artist from Japan they're interested in is the Sanshin Cafe Orchestra and their wonderful Cradle Song, which almost put Adora to sleep until Bow and Glimmer nudged her awake!

Oh My Zog!

That's right, Zig and Zag are back for a limited time on the 28th of November to talk about Christmas! Here's a Zogcast short I really like, one where Zig and Zag discuss hospitals:

Rumble Leaf Tumble Leaf!

I've found some rather interesting activity sheets while scouring a Dog Loves Books colouring page on the CBeebies website. It has colouring in of my favourite CBeebies shows Clangers, Dog Loves Books and Love Monster, plus other favourites such as Monty & Co, Bing and Postman Pat.

Cousin Matilda's Tales: Fuzzy Ducky

Whenever Dog Loves Bedtime Baboon airs on CBeebies, I'll do a new story from Cousin Matilda, a relative of Bedtime Baboon which I made up. Today, she uses feathers of a rubber duck, the scent of baby powder and bubbles from a bubble bath to tell the story of a magical toy duck who transforms into a rubber duck whenever it's bathtime.

School Of Roars Activity Time - Fangella's Biggest Fan - Interviewing Teachers, Parents Or Grandparents

The little monsters are asking their parents, grandparents and teachers, including Mrs. Grizzlesniff, about their lives. Perhaps you can join in and interview your grandparents and teachers via Zoom or Skype? There's a printable interview with your grandparents/teachers/parents which you can share over biscuits and milk - or biscuits and slime shake if you're like Icklewoo and the other little monsters:

Bitesize & The Letter Writing Hero

Today's Bitesize lesson is about formal and informal writing, and you know how much of an ace I am at writing letters! Today I'm going to write another formal letter to Factory about various storylines for the new Scream Street, and another letter to CBBC about bringing Scream Street back on air, plus a letter to For The Right Reasons about my Favourite Things story compilation. For now, check out this handy Bitesize lesson about this fun kind of writing:

What A Surprise!

A Bluey episode featuring Bluey as a baby is airing in Australia the same time I'm doing a story about pretending to be in a labor ward! That of course is I.B.F.Fs: A Literal Mummy. There had been many Bluey episodes with the word 'Baby' in the title, such as 'Dad Baby' and 'Early Baby', plus there's the Teletubbies original episode 'Little Baby'.

You can find some activities themed around 'Early Baby' here:

I.B.F.Fs: A Literal Mummy

Inspired by the Scream Street episode 'Double Trouble' which to me is a representation of birth, this story sees us turn my house into a hospital as we help Cleo when she goes into labor and has her first baby. The next day, I put her through some training to see if she is a proper literal mummy.
