Screen Breaks

I'm taking a break from the computer this weekend, so until I come back with new posts on Monday, I'd like to share this tale from CBeebies about a dog who encourages his family to go tech free.

Harry & The Bucketful Of Dinosaurs

This is a story I used to love so much as a kid, and I used to watch Harry & His Bucketful Of Dinosaurs on Milkshake, so I thought I'd share this story with you.

Bob Bilby's Monster Mates!

Once upon a time, Bob Bilby went exploring in a dark cave. He heard a ferocious roaring noise, and saw three hideous monsters racing towards him, wanting to eat him for breakfast...but they weren't going to! Instead, they wanted to make Bob Bilby their BBBFF (Bob Bilby Best Friend Forever). Now you can make a monster friend for Bob Bilby just by clicking the link below and following the instructions:

If You Love Dog Loves Dinosaurs....

....then check out more dino-riffic fun from CBeebies, with Andy's Dinosaur AdventuresAndy's Dino Toybox and My Petsaurus. My Petsaurus is relatable to first time young pet owners, even with the lovable blue triceratops here to cause mayhem like most CBeebies pets, but I prefer watching the Andy series because even to parents and grown-ups, it's thrilling, tells lots of facts about prehistoric creatures and lets a kid-friendly icon invade footage from the Walking With trilogy, turning the footage kid friendly to discover species which hadn't been introduced to a preschool audience before.

You Must Believe...

"Furaha...you have forgotten me. You have forgotten who you are and so have forgotten me. Look inside yourself, Furaha. You are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the circle of life...

Remember who you are. You are my creation, and the little legend of Africa."

My Letter To Tiny Pop

This is a letter I wrote to Tiny Pop about why they are airing so many Sesame Workshop series, and how much I love the Sesame Street special 'When You Wish Upon A Pickle', even mentioning that I would like a pink and fluffy version of the Wish Pickle!

Building Igloos

It's Luella!

The lone witch is standing alone, surfing as if in my dream from yesterday about going to the beach, without Cleo, Six, Resus, Luke or even her best witch friend Mildred. She is fully aware of how CBBC treats her show. I wish she could do a spell where she would ask CBBC to treat Scream Street fairly with dignity.

Popcorn Balls & Green Alien Cupcakes

In 'Arty's Outdoor Movie', one of my favourite episodes of Amazon's Creative Galaxy, Arty learns how to make popcorn balls and little jelly slices when his outdoor movie feast gets ruined by Jackson's dog, Splatter. Perhaps you would like to prepare for your next movie night? You can, with these green alien cupcakes and some popcorn balls.
