If you want a quick and easy activity that children will love - decorate biscuits. All you need is a packet of rich tea biscuits, fondant icing sugar, and any sprinkles or sweets you want, the brighter the better it seems. Put the biscuits onto a tray, mix the icing sugar with a few drops of water (a thicker icing is best as it is less likely to run off the biscuit) then decorate..................................
I always made my own biscuits but one afternoon I was short of time so just iced some ready made rich tea biscuits and my grandchildren think they are the best biscuits ever - of course that could be the sugar rush but we don't make them very often and they do eat lots of fruit and veggies as well.
I am keeping as far away as possible from my kitchen today, no more baking in this heat, although I think I said that after my marathon bake last weekend. Unfortunately I do have to brave the supermarkets as my cupboards are looking bare - but hopefully the afternoon will lend itself to some crochet and maybe an hour watching the cricket - hope England have a good innings today.

ReplyDeleteYes, those are darling. And happy birthday to your sweet little one.
I know you are from England. Do you live in the states now?
Hope you get your cozy time to sit and crochet today too. I look forward to a few peaceful moments out in the swing in the evening.....crocheting, sipping iced tea, watching my chickens....life is lovely, don't you think?

Hi Kris
DeleteI agree life is lovely and I am very lucky. I live in the north west of England and I have 6 lovely grandchildren, 5 boys and little Daisy May. I didn't manage to crochet today, chores got in the way maybe tomorrow. Hope you have a lovely weekend .

Happy birthday to Daisy! 12 weeks early, goodness. She looks a picture of health now though, and so pretty. Love the cupcake toppers. x
ReplyDeleteHi Gillian thank you for your lovely comments x
DeleteI used to do just that with rich tea biscuits when I was a little girl with my auntie. I loved it. Gruesome pinks and the brightest green were my favourite
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous little girl Daisy is xxx
