Disney+ At Grandma's

Thought we couldn't watch Disney at Grandma's? Well, you thought wrong!

Now I can watch Bluey anytime on Disney+ both at home AND at Grandma's. The first episode I ever saw here is 'The Dump' AKA 'Road Trip'. To celebrate my grand achievement, try some activities themed around this, Zoo, Backpackers, The Adventure, Copycat, The Sleepover, Early Baby and Mums & Dads:

https://www.huggies.com/en-us/tips-advice/activities-play/things-to-do/10-ideas-for-daddy-daughter-dates-with-a-toddler - Why not make up an I.B.F.Fs story based on your day out? You could star me, Luke, Resus, Cleo, Bluey, Bingo, Chloe, Mackenzie and Honey in a story set at the water park, or you could write about me and my siblings going with Uncle Stripe and Aunt Trixie to the farmer's market, whatever suits your tone.

One Day To Go!

Just one more day to go until Trish's big surprise! This Bananas In Pyjamas special shows just how excited I am. I have to put a gold star on tomorrow when I see this!

Robin Hood & His Merry Mouse Ham & Grilled Cheese Sandwiches & Party Sausages With Honey & Mustard Glaze

Robin Hood & His Merry Mouse is the latest Tom & Jerry adventure to arrive on CBBC, and that means two new recipes specially selected to appease the appetite of any rich Nottingham man or woman. Grill up some ham and grilled cheese sandwiches, then complete your serving with party sausages with honey and mustard glaze!

Take Me To Halloween Land, Scooby Doo!

I found three excellent Peter Pan-related Disney Family crafts like this one above earlier.

Since Scooby Doo & The Goblin King heavily reminds me of Scream Street, Peter Pan and South Park's Imaginationland combined with the source material, I thought I'd share three Peter Pan-related crafts with you. Next time the film airs on CBBC, make them before then!

Me When I Hear Trish Is Organizing A Surprise For Me On Monday

On Monday, Trish is planning a surprise for me, and it's all to do with my bucket list and my publishing dreams! Here's how I feel about the whole situation, as depicted by Bananas In Pyjamas.

Scooby Doo & The Goblin King Halloween Ghost Cupcakes & Monster Puppets

Allah! The most awesome Scooby Doo movie ever, Goblin King, is airing on CBBC tonight! And to celebrate, I thought I'd like you fans of the movie to prepare for it. First, make some delicious Halloween ghost cupcakes, which I think are suited for any occasion apart from Halloween (I think the same with Scream Street, too):

https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/ghost-cupcakes.html

Then make these fiendishly fun paper bag monster puppets. They don't just have to be monsters, you can do characters from the film such as Scooby, Shaggy, the Goblin King, Fairy Princess Willow, the Amazing Krudsky and Mr. Gibbles in his rabbit form, as well as all the monsters from Halloween Land such as werewolves, vampires, mummies, witches, etc..

Make Animation With Dennis & Gnasher

Since The Great Beanotown Comic-Con is airing tonight on CBBC, now it's time to write a story and adapt it into an animation! Find some awesome writing prompts here:

Then, since my favourite animation style is stop-motion (mainly because of Scream Street), try this guide to making your story into stop-motion animation:

Drinking & Wetting: CBBC's Deleted Scene

There are two deleted scenes from this week's Blue Peter and Mimi & Co. And they're not for kids at all...

The beginning of this week's Blue Peter was originally going to show Lindsey drinking before the Blue Peter presenters sang their sea shanty, and Henry even getting a taste of the liquor Lindsey is drinking, but the producers didn't want such naughty, outrageous behaviour on a kids' show, so they banned alcohol from Blue Peter. Find out more about why alcohol isn't suitable for kids at all:

Then, in tonight's Mimi & Co, named Date With A Difference, they were originally going to show Mimi wetting her pants at the exotic animal centre, but this was never a good idea. The cupcakes Nikki Lily sent look tasty though, especially the ones with rainbow coloured hundreds and thousands. This was due to an incident that happened with I'm A Celebrity. Check it out here:

Arthur, Tracy & Vlad Present...

TRACY: Guys, I have some exciting news!

ARTHUR: Has Justine come out of the closet?

VLAD: Spoiler alert...

TRACY: All will be revealed later. Right now, we're going to view the new trailer for My Mum Tracy Beaker, premiering next Friday on CBBC, and throughout each day the show airs, a new skit featuring ourselves will air.

ARTHUR: We've grown up?

TRACY: Look at us! We're adults now.

ARTHUR: Oh yeah.

TRACY: Here, I'll play the tape and we can view it as a reminder that we're still buddies.

Make-A-Wish Ireland

Even Ireland believes in Give Kids The World Village. That's why I've found lots of great wishes on the Irish Make-A-Wish website! Yeah! From a princess party with a beautiful pink castle cake with sugar white frosting to seeing Nathan Carter performing on stage, Ireland may be limited of wishes, but it's lucky they've got fairies living in the woods...especially when they work for charity!

Nookie Bitesize - Prevent Drugs The Dumping Ground Way

Attention all Nookie Bitesize learners! Finn needs your help! I know, the Bitesize programmes have used clips from Go Jetters and Art Ninja, but this is serious! Finn and the other kids of the Dumping Ground are learning about drug prevention, and since Finn's using magic to make his fantasies come true in the amazing spectacular finale of The Dumping Ground, it's about time we have to find out whether he's been offered drugs or not! Check out this article on preventing drugs around children like the DG kids:
