Arty Party Pancakes

Pan Cake Fun   Making pancakes is something i enjoy doing with my kids..and i have been helping my seven and five year old make their own pancakes....They have been coming up with interesting shapes i must say. Spooning batter on to the pan and tossing , was fiddly at the beginning, but they are getting the hang of it! I have been  drawing pancake-shapes using a spoon which turns out fine but they  do  not really turn out neat at times. Until i thought of using a sauce dispenser. Using a sauce dispenser to draw shapes out of pan cake batter is so much fun. It is  an interesting way to serve pancakes  to your child. Sure to bring a big smile on his/her face. And the best part is that the whole family can have fun giving it a go.  It is certainly a delight to watch their masterpieces taking shape!       You will need some basics to begin with .... I bought this decor sauce dispenser from    Big W. Those pretty cookie cutters  from Kmart . Pouring batter into cookie cutt

Felt Story Mat

Felt Story Mat Hi everyone.  Today i am sharing a fun project you can make for your kids... Little did i think i could make good use of this green flannel blanket which my son got in his goodie bag ,  while traveling on an Emirates Airline flight... During winter, i  kept it in my car and used  it as a travel blankei for my kids . Then in summer, it became a sun shield and later ended up in our living room floor ,  which we used  as a green field for my kid's plastic farm animals.  Eventually i have transformed  this cosy friend as a felt story mat . Incy Wincy Spider And made some interesting felt characters . Felt Story Mats are really interesting ,engaging and fun way to share a story with your child. My five year old and two year old having fun.. . What you  will need... Felt I found it easier to fold the felt and cut them out I used velcro sticky dots, so that my son could have fun fixing the wheels and windows.. Baa Baa
