Birthday Book Bash - Pinkalicious Activity Ideas

It's not a read-along, but I found this selection of Pinkalicious related activities! I know, Pinkalicious & Peteriffic doesn't air in the UK, but there are loads and loads of fun Pinkalicious activities out there. Keep your eyes open!

Healthy Carrot Pancakes With Yogurt

If there's one thing Little Giraffe likes for breakfast more than toast and jam, it's freshly cooked pancakes with strawberries, bacon and sometimes maple syrup! There's a healthier option - carrot pancakes with yogurt to match! Make these with your little giraffes - you'll be glad they had a healthy breakfast.

Cloudland Update - 7.4.22

After a day-long, (almost) stress free break, I'm back onto Cloudland! Today's story is all about a little giraffe who prepares breakfast all by herself, then plays at running her own breakfast cafe. It's a sweet, charming story, much like the other stories in the book. I'm reusing the illustration I originally made for my full-length book, so there's no need to do them today. By the way, starting this weekend I'm doing the activities next, because weekends are best for doing activities. The four activities featured in the book incorporate the themes of mindfulness, perseverance and listening. See you then!

Who Cares?

Birthday Book Bash - Dear Grandma Bunny

Sorry to keep you waiting, but today's story is a little sad, and stars everyone's favourite rabbit, Miffy. Please watch with a heavy heart and an open mind.

Bad Blood

Hi! Resus here. Sybil attempted to watch CBBC this morning, but the amount of stress caused by watching the Secret Life Of Boys is too much for her. So, instead, we interrupt regular programming for her favourite CBBC show of all time - Scream Street! And this is one episode starring me that you love to see - Bad Blood, starring my grandpa! Don't watch The Toothfairy though, it's not hula-wacoola. 

Waitivity - Zenimation & Star Wars Galaxy Of Sounds Senses Game

Next time you watch either Zenimation or Star Wars: Galaxy Of Sounds, close your eyes and focus on the sounds you can hear. Watch it a few more times, describing what you can smell, see, touch and feel in each scene.

What makes a family? Love, of course!

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!
