I.B.F.Fs & The Bike Ride

I.B.F.Fs & The Bike Ride

Every Wednesday, Simon, Bluey and I ride our bikes in the park. Resus and Cleo always feel left out, so my friends and I try to teach them to ride a bike. It is then that we learn about asking permission before borrowing something from other people when this whole bike riding lesson goes a little too far....

31 Things To Do When You Can't See BBC iPlayer Or Disney+ On Your TV

I can't use BBC iPlayer or Disney+ at the moment...but that's okay, there are 31 fun things to do when the TV isn't currently functioning and you can't see your friends like you can't connect to friends via a disgruntled Zoom call!

1. Watch Scream Street, Love Monster and Dog Loves Books on iPlayer on your computer, of course!
2. Have tea and fairy cakes in the garden.
3. Colour pictures of fairies.
4. Create some sensual body paint so you can paint yourself while standing in the bath without any clothes on.
5. Make a photo book from a recycled cereal box - theme it around anything, like Scream Street, Bluey, Love Monster, Dog Loves Books, My Pride or Simon.
6. Try these hoof-tastic My Little Pony themed activities.
7. Bake something like these red velvet cupcakes, a chocolate Smarties cake or those Rainbow Cream Cookies.
8. Try these exciting garden activities.
9. Share and care with this set of Care Bears activity sheets.
10. Try and share your own knowledge of things like CBBC and Bluey like I share mine with these printable activity sheets.
11. Try these Dog Loves Books or Love Monster colouring sheets.
12. Go wild with these printable animal masks.
13. Draw your favourite character as king or queen, or a moment from your favourite Bluey episode.
14. Learn how to draw your own 'Escape' dream house. Add your own details and make it suitable for you and your CBBC friends!
15. Think up your own treehouse with these 13 Storey Treehouse activities, then make these Treehouse door hangers.
16. Do your own adaption of your favourite episodes of Scream Street, Bluey or various others using these play script templates. Do any episode you want!
17. Relax after you've made this sweet-smelling homemade bubble bath.
18. Try this satisfying recipe for Tropical Pineapple Strawberry Swirl Smoothie.
19. Watch one of these wholesome family movies - I'd totally recommend The Lion King.
20. Speaking of The Lion King, Kion may sound aggressive, but that won't stop you from doing these Lion Guard activities.
21. Turn your bubble bath into a relaxing jacuzzi.
    
22. Make a beautiful flower crown.
23. Bring colour into these rainbow fudge sweets.
24. Do some rock painting and place them on your neighbour's doorstep. You can do designs based on Scream Street, Bluey, Love Monster, Dog Loves Books, My Pride or Simon.
25. Write in your journal or diary.
26. Write your own version of Casper Dream's fairy stories from Jacqueline Wilson's 'Midnight'.
27. Try a Buried Alive Beach-At-Home Picnic.
28. Use paint chips to make heart art for the home.
    
29. It may not be October, but you can use the Scream Street Halloween At Home activity pack for any time of year!
30. Stressed? If you're easily stressed like me, a nature sensory bin is quite a good idea.
31. Take a walk in the local woods or creek. Try to be like Dad, Bluey, Bingo and Mackenzie in the Bluey episode 'The Creek'!

The Return Of Nookie Bitesize

To most people, the answer's yes, but to me, and to some of you, the answer's....

This is why Nookie Bitesize is returning next week, so you can vote your register against CBBC's stupid Lockdown Learning lineup and do some exciting things instead! Here's what's coming up next week:

• Monday - Crazy Cereal Necklaces
• Tuesday - Basic Pancake Recipes
• Wednesday - Your Child's Baby Book
• Thursday - Say It With Yakka Dee
• Friday - Bluey Charades Game

My Reaction To New Episodes Of Yakka Dee

I saw an Octopus' Garden and a giant drawing of a pink octopus with colourful pom poms! How weird is that?

Things To Do When The Internet's Down

I spent two hours without the internet this morning, this is how I felt to play the same guitar tune for this amount of time.

But don't panic, guys, there's still lots of things you can do without any WiFi...

Nick Jr Valentines' Day Cards

Valentines' Day has just passed, but with us far apart from our family and friends due to recent events, what better way to say 'I Love You' with the help of these swanky Nick Jr. cards. All you have to do is print them out and send them along with a letter explaining what you've been up to through your half-term in lockdown. Be warned, that naughty rabbit Peter is part of this too! FACT: In the USA, Peter Rabbit aired on Nick Jr, but it was made even more horrible by adding American accents to Peter and his outrageous friends. I encourage those who love the original Peter Rabbit and his film adaptation to not watch this series, as it's lost all its charm and whimsy. Anyway, click on the link below and get printing:
