BFG Inspired Fun

BGG Inspired Fun

Everybody loves the BFG and we decided to have a BFG themed day… from dream catching to lashings of Frobscottle. Here’s some of the things we did…

BFG Inspired Dream Jars

We made dream jars by filling jars with water, a drop of food colouring and some glitter. We finished by making some pretty labels.

You might also enjoy making a simple fairy jar.

Teeny Weeny Marshmallow Toasting

We pretended we were giants eating human food by toasting cake decorating marshmallows. Tealight marshmallow toasting is great fun!

Listening Hunt

We went on a listening hunt! Wearing our BFG lug ‘oles to help us listen.

Giant Food

How about using chocolate and breadsticks to make some yummy treats fit for a giant? We love super-sized food fun.

Frobscottle

We filled a bottle with limeade and drank it whilst out for a walk catching dreams.

Dream Catchers

We took our dream catchers out with us. Simple nets which we had decorated. We caught loads of dreams!

Fairy Donuts

You could make some fairy donuts with Cheerios. Mix an icing sugar and water paste then top with sprinkles.
We love a Deceptively Fun Dinner!

Mini Books

We made some teeny books so we could pretend we were giants.

Giant Jazzie

Check out our GIANT jazzie!! We melted chocolate by placing the bag in hot water before pouring onto a plastic plate. Then we covered in sprinkles and put in the fridge to set.
We’ve got lots more fun with food ideas too.
