Tutes Tuesday

Never underestimate the power of a skewer stick and some fruit!

Here is a super easy tutorial from over at My Kid Craft.  

Fruit Rocket Ship

Materials 

Method 

Before you get started you can get your kids to design their rocket ships. You'll be doing most of the cutting, so this is a great way to get them involved. They'll need to have a point at one end, and a base at the other end. Get them to use coloured pencils that match the fruits you have available.

Start by cutting and peeling the fruit. You'll need one piece of fruit in a triangular shape for the tip, and another in a tetragon with the bottom wider than the top. The other bits of fruit can be rectangular or square.

Try not to make your fruit too thick or too thin. You don't want it too heavy for the skewer, but you don't want it to break off either.

Starting with the base, push the skewer through the different bits of fruit. Kids will be able to do this part, but an adult will be needed for any harder fruits like pineapple so that you don't have any accidents.

Finish up with the tip, and then the rocket ship is ready for flying and eating.

Muffin Tin Monday - Hoppy Easter!

So today's theme was Spring has sprung which is really secret code for Easter. And seeing as I'm bunny gaga at the moment with Easter it was an appropriate one to do.  I also had some tools today which made it a bit easier and looked a bit better than last week which I thought was a bit pants.

Here are my new tools

I bought some bits and pieces from The Warehouse all for under $10

Now for some inspiration....

Hatching Chick Egg

Bunnies

Chicky Bento

Bunny Muffin Tin

And what I came up with....

Hatching Chick, Banana & Grape Flower, Luncheon and Cheese Hot X Bun, Bunny Pikelets, Carrot Sammies and Nest Egg Cupcake

And I couldn't just make one cupcake...
