Waitivity - 30 Classic Outdoor Games For Kids

While I'm waiting for Lucid Raccoon to get back to me with my proofs, I bring you a guide to the 30 classic outdoor games you or your kids can play. It's snowing at the moment, so I might suggest sledging or throwing snowballs.

The Genie's Lamp

What is a genie? Why is it stored in a lamp? And why does it grant wishes to people? Find out more with the folks at Lego!

Cloudland Update - 5.4.22

I've just gotten up to Rose & The Genie. In this story, Rose finds a magic lamp in the cupboard, and with it a genie. The genie grants Rose all manner of wishes, until she finds a solution to her wishing problem. This time, I've put up four illustrations - three of Pita's presents and one of Pita and her little brother Leo wearing their face paints. I'll do the last story tomorrow, followed by the activities!

Birthday Book Bash - If You Give A Mouse A Cookie

This one's a true favourite. If you give a mouse a cookie, lots of different antics would happen!

Waitivity - Crystal Seashells

While waiting for Lucid Raccoon to get back to me, I'll bring you a fun science experiment! It was originally meant to do with CBeebies' The Toddler Club, but I've decided to do it as a Waitivity instead. It has something to do with seashells...

Bubbles, Burgers & Bucket Lists

I felt really tired, but I managed to get through the day without a single delay!
We decided to make burgers today. As I ate them, I imagined being at a fancy restaurant with Luke, Resus, Cleo, Bluey, Bingo, Chloe, Honey and Mackenzie eating spaghetti and meatballs. I also helped paint the chair yellow, and Charlotte said that if Putzell were to rub up against the green chair, she'd turn into a green cat! While on the way home, Charlotte asked if I'd ever take a holiday, and I said I'd go to Manchester and visit Factory Create. Charlotte managed to phone Factory, but due to Covid, they didn't let any visitors in. Luckily, we arranged to make a bucket list which revolves around getting published and other busy things...and I did it now!

Birthday Book Bash - Za Za's Baby Brother

The next story in my countdown to my birthday is all about a little zebra and his experiences of playing with and looking after his new baby brother!

Hurray For Pizza!

Today I did something special with Charlotte. What is it?
Making pizza, of course! We topped Charlotte's with olives, onions and pepperoni, left pepperoni on Mum's and left mine with plain cheese. When I ate my pizza, I was so full from eating sausage rolls I couldn't eat another thing! Meanwhile, the little Wutzell named Putzell snuggled up next to me after listening for me to come inside, and she was snuggling me. Charlotte had a conversation on the phone in German with someone, and it was really boring, but I managed to stroke Putzell. We're making burgers tomorrow, so I'll update you on it then!

Waitivity - Halloween Pizza Vampire

Continuing our theme of vampires, today we'll be making a vampire pizza! Unless you want to eat meat, like a real vampire, you can always make it vegan if you like.
