Having it Large, Supersized Food

20140912-181557-65757081.jpgWe decided we wanted to make some of our favourite things super sized…the way they should be 😉

These ideas are great for a BFG Inspired Fun Day.

Here’s some of the yummies we made.

GIANT FINGERS

We made our fingers by making a simple biscuit mix, we mixed together 100g butter, 100g caster sugar & 200g plain flour & a few drops of vanilla essence (optional).

We rolled then into fingers long enough to fit our home made Finger box & cooked at 180c for around 15 minutes. Once cooled we covered them in melted chocolate and placed onto some greaseproof paper to set in the fridge.

We made the box by using a display stand that the supermarket was throwing away, we cut it down to size to form a box but you could use any box and and print off ‘finger’ pictures to stick to it.

GIANT MIKADO

We made our Mikados using breadsticks and chocolate. We simply melted chocolate and dipped our breadsticks into them before standing in a beaker in the fridge til they had set.
Our box was made with a cereal box which we covered with ‘Mikado printed paper’ and we lined our box with foil.

GIANT WEETABIX

We made out giant breakfast by crumbling some Weetabix into a bowl, we then added a little bit of water and shaped it into a large Weetabix using a piece of card to keep it together around the edge, we placed it in a warm place overnight to harden back up.

We served our giant breakfast in a mixing bowl with a serving spoon and a giant glass (vase) of milk.

GIANT FERRERO ROCHER

It was quite tricky to make but easy to devour! We brushed ice cream wafers with water to make them slightly soft and moulded them to a greased bowl (x’s 2) & then left them in a warm place to dry back out. We then carefully removed the two halves from the bowls and covered with melted chocolate, before they’d completely set we sprinkled the outside with hazelnuts and returned to the fridge, we then filled the inside of the two halves with hazelnuts and a jar of chocolate spread. We used a little more melted chocolate to seal the two halves together.

Finally we wrapped in some gold wrapping paper that we’d scrunched up for effect….

We then used our fingers to eat it for pudding!!!

GIANT POP CORN BUCKET

We made our giant bucket using a length of cardboard that we rolled into a giant tube and secured with gaffer tape, we then slotted a plastic mixing bowl into the top and filled with yummy popcorn!

We were most definitely full to the brim!

You could also try our Giant Kit Kat, Giant Toblerone or Giant Kinder Egg for some really big fun!

Family Days Tried and Tested
🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️😷🍿🎬 We’re thr 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️😷🍿🎬 We’re throwing a ‘lockdown heroes’ treat night for the children as a reminder to them of how proud we are of them holding it together during the lock down. 
I made some printouts to set the scene and we’ll have treats and watch a superhero movie. 
This pandemic is so hard on everyone and it’s so easy to overlook how well the children are cracking on throughout, they are so resilient when it comes to change but it’s such an incredibly emotional and unknown time for their little minds. 

So this little treat night is a reminder to them that they too are hero’s in their own right and that we’re proud of the part they play too 💖
🚶‍♀️🚶📮✉️🌈🚪 We took a walk 🚶‍♀️🚶📮✉️🌈🚪 We took a walk around our neighbourhood and used the time to practice our colours by spotting different coloured doors. We took a photo so we could sit down and look at them when we got home too. 
A really simple, fun and educational activity, with the bonus of fresh air too 👌

**All the doors opened onto the main pavement meaning that there were not any front gardens or paths, so we didn’t trespass 😉
🌳📏Finding out how old trees are using string 🌳📏Finding out how old trees are using string! 
We used a piece of string on which we made a mark every 2.5cm along, we then chose our trees and wrapped the string around the girth of the tree around 1.5m up (5ft).
The then we counted the points on the marker and each point (2.5cm) was equal to 1 year. 
This tree is was around 52 years old.
🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️📝 This morning I wrot 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️📝 This morning I wrote a poem and popped it on the door to remind the children that I think they are heroes of lockdown in their own right, here’s what it reads..

Dear kids, 
I want to remind you, 
That I think you’re quite amazing,
And I’m proud of what you do.

You’ve adapted during lockdown 
And I know you miss your school
But you’ve held it all together 
And I think you’re really cool

I know it’s not been easy 
But you’ve rocked in every way
And been strong throughout the lockdown 
And a hero everyday 

It’s been tough to follow guidelines 
To stay at home and not explore 
To not visits parks or playground 
And help with learning & with chores 

And I’m proud of your achievements 
Whilst we all stay safe at home 
When we’re missing all our loved ones 
That we talk to on our phones

So I wanted to say that you’re a hero
And I know this virus is a poo
But you’re helping our world stay safe 
In everything you do 

So know that you’re amazing 
And know that you’re divine 
Know that you have got this 
And you’re really doing fine 

And everyday you show me 
That you’re brave and that you’re smart 
And mostly that you’re wonderful 
And for that you hold my heart 

You rock!!
