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 a hedgehog cake for a good cause...

It's Hedgehog Awareness Week from 3-6 May in England So why not make a cake and auction it on social media then send the
proceeds to 
Reg. no. 9570 and account no. 9069755and help the Danish hedgehog charity pindsvin.dk

 
Step 1: make your favourite round chocolate cake.
Cut it in half and round off the sides.
Cover it in chocolate butter frosting.
Like this.
Melt some milk chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of water
Then dip the strawberries in one at a time, carefully.
Then pin them onto the cake with cocktail sticks
or they keep sliding off.
All over.
Cover one end of an ice cream waffle in some melted
chocolate and add sweetie eyes
Then add some dark chocolate sprinkles quick before the melted
chocolate dries or licked off by mistake.
Jake found four prunes in the cupboard and
added cocktail stick claws for paws
And here it is!
The only problem is that it's not easy to eat it afterwards.
Well maybe not for the first few seconds!
