Group Activity - Double Babysitter

I couldn't find any more ideas for a group activity based on The Adventure...

Double Babysitter

Try the Cool Australia 'Double Babysitter' lesson with your group, before leading them in making their own 'Green Zone Boxes'.

I.B.F.Fs: Milkshakes In Equestria

Luke, Resus, Cleo and I wake up in Equestria after stumbling upon a magical library book which allows its readers to be transported to the world of My Little Pony for just one day. To pass the time while we wait for midnight, when we can be transported home, Twilight asks for our help in setting up her milkshake making business at Sugarcube Corner with her friends.

I.B.F.Fs: Time For Breakfast

Luke, Resus, Cleo and I are delighted at the fact of bacon-and-cheese sandwiches for a real breakfast, so we decide to make our parents 'brunch' by mixing cereal, milk, orange juice, eggs, toast and jam altogether to create the best breaklunch ever!

It'll be a wonderful kind of day when you start writing stories featuring Arthur and his friends!

Winter Friendship Bracelets

Winter is upon us, and showing your love for your best friend with snowflakes and snowmen...I'm sure no one would mind if you made them into friendship bracelets to share with your very best friend. If I were making them for Luke, Resus and Cleo, I would be the one being given that friendship bracelet by Cleo instead of Luella. Confused? Don't be.

Valentines' Friendship Rocks

Dixon learnt a lot from when he sat next to Amy on the Buddy Bench. You can also learn a lot from making those lovely friendship rocks using red paint and rocks you can find on the beach or outside in the garden. It's Winter and it's extremely cold outside, but no matter how cold it gets, this'll warm your heart! No pun intended.

Break The Cocomelon Addiction! Mini Theatre

Cocomelon has been brainwashing children recently. It's popped up everywhere - on Cartoonito, Tiny Pop and even CBeebies! Make this mini theatre to help your children steer clear of the terrible ways of the nursery rhyme-filled rock. Download the printable background and puppets, then follow the video tutorial down below (you don't need corks and Christmas tree branches for this one, though).

Tiger Face Paint Tutorial

There's one thing I missed out on Lunar New Year, and that's to make a craft inspired by Bingo's tiger face paint. Now you can paint your child's face so he or she can look like a tiger themselves, even after Chinese New Year! Happy Late Year Of The Tiger!
