How To Make...A Happiness Pizza

For the last time, it isn't a pizza you can eat! It's a gratitude craft where you can use a piece of cardboard, red sugar paper and a few post it notes - not to mention some glue - to make a pizza with all the things you're happy about as toppings - on the house! But it's not to eat, I wouldn't recommend it.

You will need:
  • A large piece of cardboard
  • A black marker
  • A pair of safety scissors
  • Some red sugar paper
  • Some sticky notes of your choosing
  • Mess-free glue sticks

  1. Take a large piece of cardboard and draw a large circle around it using an empty saucepan as a base.
  2. Then, cut it out very carefully.
  3. Cut out a blobby shape from the red sugar paper to use as the tomato sauce, then stick it on with the glue.
  4. Starting from today, as days go on, write down what you're happy about each day and stick it with mess-free glue onto the pizza. You have a new topping for your pizza every day!
  5. You can name your colours unusual toppings if you want. Here are some colour coded topping names:

  • Yellow - Cheese
  • Pink - Marshmallows
  • Blue - Blueberries
  • Orange - Cornflakes
  • Green - Peppers
Oh, and with each colour you name after a topping, you can make them themed around a different topic which you're happy about each day. Here are some examples:
  • Yellow - What makes you smile?
  • Pink - Sweetest moments
  • Blue - Joys of nature
  • Orange - The best parts of your day
  • Green - Something unusual you experienced
And then, once your pizza is full of toppings, you have something to help you remember how happy you are with your life.

WARNING: This pizza is not for eating, it's for keeping...unless you want to have a real takeout pizza afterwards.

Inventive Moments: Kitchen Oopsy Jar

Join B1 and B2 and take advantage of your own kitchen mistakes with this simple Kitchen Oopsy Jar craft. Have you knocked over a pile of cardboard yet to be thrown out, then the dog took it, and then you blamed it on another family member? Have you stepped in something hard or slippery and found it not fair? Then this is the craft for you!

You will need:
  • A glass jar
  • Some paper
  • Some safety scissors
  • A marker or colouring pen
  • Stickers of your choice
  • A sticky label
  1. Write 'Kitchen Oopsy Jar' on a sticky label and place it on the front of the jar.
  2. Cover the jar with stickers - it can be any kind you like: Bluey, Disney, flowers, Stitch, the like.
  3. The next time you felt like you had a clumsy mix up in the kitchen, write down a positive affirmation on a piece of paper based on your experience.
  4. Place it into the jar, and once it's full up, you can claim a reward for filling up the jar from any shopping site you want - except Tesco, because it costs an awful amount of money.
Remember, Lulu says: "It's very wise to spend your money on only three things at a time. And when it comes to buying online, always check your bank account first!"

And I always say, it's okay to make mistakes, but if you make a mess, it's very important to clean it up first, or else there'll be a terrible mess - remember Brum and Horrid Henry? Yeah, them. Don't be like them.
