All The Pretty Little Horses

This is for all My Little Pony fans getting ready for bed - bronies viewing my blog, join in too! When I listen to this lullaby, I imagine scenes from My Little Pony playing inside my head. As you listen to this lullaby, imagine the ponies falling asleep and entering a dream world made of sweets and candy - this always works for a sleepy pony. I wonder if this works for you too?

A Teletubbies Bedtime Story

It's nearly bedtime, and I've done a story about a teddy bear before, so, I'll do another one, this time from Brian Cant! This story is about a teddy bear like the one from last night, this one is called Cuddles.

If I Ate The Witch's Magic Ice Cream...

If I ate the witches' supply of magic ice cream, I'd use my hands to make things magically appear using Makaton sign language (although saying some words and saying another word at the same time will make other random stuff appear), I'd do some awesome dance moves like the ones shown in The Next Step and various Disney Channel movies, plus the Hetty Feather Christmas special and the musical episode of The Dumping Ground, and I'd use X-ray sight to check out what goes on in other places, including seeing what's going on on CBBC and CBeebies each week.

My Favourite Brekkie!

Mums, this is a version of my favourite breakfast treat to make for you and your baby, so they can have a healthy start for tomorrow. Tomorrow, why don't you click the link below and make this delicious healthy recipe for breakfast?

Remember This Thursday...

Radzi has become a resident of the Pride Lands thanks to his new book, which is all about moving like his animal friends. For a second, I thought it would be a boring book about his life, or his Blue Peter memoirs, but now he's showing us the lengthy dances of the animal kingdom.
To celebrate what's going to occur on Blue Peter this Thursday, I thought I'd share with you a clip of Radzi from last decade when he presented Blue Peter alongside Lindsey, and when Mitchell, Becky, Templeton, Luke, Resus and Cleo are still everyone's besties 4 life - the time he walked on custard! You'll be wanting a custard bath after this, I guarantee.

How CBBC Feels About Me Without Scream Street On The Schedules

"When someone breaks your trust, don't feel stupid for trusting them. You didn't do anything wrong, they're just an untrustworthy person."
Visit these pages of the CBBC website to contact them or Newsround if you miss Scream Street or any other show you like, or if you want their advice on what to do if you lose a friend:

Fire Returns!

We may be missing Scream Street until March (I hope) but now...
Furaha and her brother Upendi have found out some exciting news! Next month on the 27th and 28th of February, there'll be a double helping of My Pride for dinner - much better than a nice juicy lump of impala meat, I tell you, but Nyama prefers vegetarian meals on his behalf. The two cubs have witnessed Nothing reunite with her No Mane brother Fire, and this, my friends, is what they saw:
Be sure to visit my blog next month to reunite with Nothing and Feather after two months!

Ice Cream Headache

In tonight's episode of Summer Camp Island, the campers develop magic powers due to ice cream, and now's the time to play some fun games based on each of their individual hot day powers!

Odd Squad Snow Yoga

After three months of waiting, Big O has finally talked with the BBC, and that resulted in more Odd Squad! In today's and Tuesday's premiere 2-parter, the Mobile Unit go on a snowy adventure to solve yet another odd case, but after long hard run-ins with unicorns with lasers, or polar bears with fishing rods, I think every Odd Squad agent needs to calm down, just like you and me. To tie in with the theme of the episode, I've found some natural Arctic animal yoga poses - just what every tired Odd Squad recruit can do before settling down in front of the fire with a mug of cocoa! Just make sure that polar bear doesn't catch you with his fishing rod.

Dr. F Doesn't Breastfeed

Did you know Dr. F doesn't breastfeed? Mrs. Watson, Bella Negative and Eefa all breastfeed, but Dr. F didn't breastfeed Six because she created her from body parts, she didn't give birth to her. Without any breast milk, Six isn't able to get any brain development or antibodies to keep her healthy. So how does she keep healthy? While we wait, parents, watch these videos to help you realize your baby won't end up like Six once breastfed.

Summer Camp Island & The Tale Of Hansel & Gretel

Remember that Summer Camp Island episode from last Friday? It reminded me of Hansel & Gretel, and here's the story from a Golden Books cassette.

Clay Cake Time

Years ago, historic TV machines Roley, Muck and Dizzy attempted to make a concrete cake for their friend Bob The Builder's birthday, and now you can too! All you have to do is grab a bucket of Play-Doh, some flowers, feathers and leaves or anything else you can find in the garden and get your hands stuck in.

Move Aside, Superted

Auntie Wonderbear is Wonder Woman's teddy and lives in Sweden with the female wonder's grandma. She's a relative of P.B. Bear, and her magic phonebox has been passed down for generations, down to her nephew P.B., so she can become the new ursine wonder, just like the DC Comics female hero!
Find out more about Wonder Woman here:

P.B. Bear & The Alien Invaders

When I was young, I was all over P.B. Bear, and used to own a P.B. Bear VHS where P.B. Bear and his friends had a pirate party, had a picnic and played tag, and had a banana party at the castle, with banana sword fights and jousting! This episode was one I found a few years ago, where three fizzy pop loving aliens visit P.B. and his friend Rosco, and another episode I'll show you is where someone has been stealing sweets!

Tom Gates' Caramel Wafer Bars

To celebrate the launch of The Brilliant World Of Tom Gates on Sky Kids - and because I already own a Tom Gates book from my favourite bookshop in Inverness - make these crunchy chocolate caramel wafer bars, perfect for a sleepover and a band practice at your best mate's house.

You 'Doh' Not Believe It!

Ever wondered how Play-Doh promotes its tropical paradise? Not by advertising, no, but by a lot of freaky little creatures who love to mould different shapes, make cakes and fight cobras! Here, watch the video below:

We Served You Well

If CBBC had bumpers in the style of Adult Swim, one of their bumps for new episodes of 'Step Up To The Plate' would have a picture of a restaurant, with the words 'We Served You Well' in big letters on the window and show host Fred Sirex's outlined picture on the wall, with the 'Step Up To The Plate' logo on a restaurant card and Mux Mool's 'Rough Cut' as music.

Make A Cake For Mickey Mouse

It's been three months already, and we're all missing Mickey and his Disney Junior friends - well, most of us if we have Disney+. To make a memoir of all your happy memories with everyone's favourite mouse, make a cake directly from Mickey's clubhouse! Decked in yellow and red, you'll dig into a pair of mouse ears in no time - and get yellow and red frosting on your face!
