Mila & Milo
Here's what inspired me to make Mila and Milo in I.B.F.Fs: Mail Friends - Scamper the squirrel and her nephew Scuff from Bill & Ben. They aren't ripoffs, I was inspired by them. Scuff on the other hand is really cute!

I.B.F.Fs: Mail Friends
When Sophie, Zura, Fang and Luna see some parcels fall out of the mail truck, they decide to help out, delivering parcels to squirrels, an antelope and a bear and a wallaby and a chipmunk! Currently, I'm out of ideas on what to write with the scene with Nick and Footie (the new names for Lucky and his dad), but I hope you'll enjoy this romp with the postie!

Handprint Bat
In 'Adventure Playground', the kids make their own black bat cave to eat biscuits and fruit and basically chill out in. Using black paint and googly eyes, you can make a bat cave of your own and, best of all, make those googly-eyed handprint bats. Halloween is a long way off, but a happy art project such as a handprint bat is great for boring Winter days!
I.B.F.Fs: The Magic Watch - Adventure Playground
This is something I've wanted to do for quite sometime...
Sophie, Fang, Zura and Luna are bored. The power has gone out, and it won't be fixed until tomorrow. As if things can't get any worse, they're stuck inside with nothing to do...until Sophie suggests they turn their house into an adventure playground!

The Great Exchange
Today, I had an amazing time with Sally, even if it means handing my folder and Bluey activities to her out of kindness. Check it out!
First, while we're out collecting food for our picnic, Sally got me a Bluey magazine - finally! It had the story of Bob Bilby, a Bluey bingo game, a cut-and-stick activity featuring Chattermax and Polly Puppy, and images from the episodes 'Circus' and 'Duck Cake', which are yet to air on CBeebies. I'll post an image of the real actual duck cake and a link to the PETA Kids comic 'A Tiger's Life' if they do!
Next we went to visit the alpacas near the egg shop. Sally explained the brown alpaca was like a child, and there was a second brown one which died years ago. It was here that I explained to Sally that I finally decided to change the characters in my I.B.F.Fs and Me, You, And...stories, and she was both shocked and impressed!
While having our food at Portmahomack, I showed Sally my Bluey activity sheets. She said that she would take them over to Fiona in the library so the primary can have fun learning and playing with Bluey and Scream Street. While talking about I.B.F.Fs with Sally, I mentioned something about Sophie's mum working for the MPP (Monster Protection Programme) and Sally said it was similar to a film she watched with one of her group, Hotel Transylvania (pictured above), about monsters who live in a hotel away from the danger of humans. I got confused when we started talking about Zura, so we just went on our way.
Next we had a hot chocolate from Tomach. However, mine had marshmallows so Sally had to scrape them out. As a result of wiping my cup with a baby wipe, it smelled of saliva! I enjoyed my drink anyway. Don't gross out, I really did.
I was needing a wee all the way home, so I went to the toilet and washed my hands twice, then wrote Sally a note stating that she must take my Bluey primary activities to Fiona in the library, and she must tell Trish about all of this and my new original story ideas because she's taking her group to Brora tomorrow.
I hope she does...if she does, I'll post a picture of Bluey!

CBBC Drawing Activity - 21.10.15
In celebration of CBBC and CBeebies' 20th anniversary, I've set up a series of drawing activities inspired by this and influenced by CBBC's latest show, Britain's Best Young Artist. This time, it's all about Fan Art! Starting with the premiere of my favourite CBBC show, Scream Street!
1.Check out this schedule for inspiration, and maybe even watch some of the shows too.
2.Draw an inspirational work of art inspired by Luke, Resus and Cleo battling the monster vacuum cleaner in 'Scream Clean'.
3.Write somewhere on the page, 'The Best Day Of Our Lives'.
4.On the back, do another piece of art inspired by another show that aired on that day. Here are a few examples to get you started:
- A gothic Nowhere Boys picture inspired by Simone Martini.
- A mixed media picture of Danger Mouse using things found in nature. Go outside into your garden and find flowers, leaves and any other thing, then, using glue, stick them to the picture and draw Danger Mouse in the middle.
- A funky picture of Merl, Pickle and Gull dancing.
5.Hang it on your fridge or bedroom wall for everyone to see!
