Fun stuff for kids and parents

Tried and tested on willing guinea piglets

This optimistic, self-employed writer, translator, columnist and mum knows that with kids, a dash of charm and a good giggle beat fear of failure every time.

So here are some out-of-the-box ideas to keep kids and parents happy for hours...

Make your own pirate headgear - and a GREAT chicken Xmas present

We bought these dishcloths in REMA for DKK 20 (about £2)

We folded it in half and cut a little way in at one end.

We out the dishcloth/teatowel with the middle on
top of Jake's head. 
Holding onto the bits we cut, we tied it around his
head and knotted it over one ear.

Then I found a hair elastic and we put the tail end
 through it a couple of times.
And covered the elastic with the knot.
Like this.

Looking good.
Should be looking mean and nasty like a real pirate. 
That's better. Still missing something...
Yes! A real pirate has a parrot. Jake's got a chicken.
With a secret...
It's a wine box cover :0. Or rather a wine bag cover
 once you've wrestled the box off.

Perfect Christmas presents for Grandma and her friends.
Hope they're not looking!

You can find the site where I got them on facebook if you look up

MERRY CHRISTMAS
