Spooooky sweets

These little Halloween ghosties are quick and cheap to make. You've probably got the materials in your kitchen cupboards right now! Instead of holding out a bowl of treats this Thursday night, why not make some of these treat filled ghosts instead?

 

ooooooooooh!...not so spooky Halloween Wreath

If you like your Halloween to be more about cute pumpkins and friendly witches and less about dripping blood and severed hands, then this craft project is for you!

The best bit is that kids of all ages can cut out the felt circles. And because you're stacking them together they can be cut out fairly slap dash and it'll still look amazing!

This project uses a lot of felt, so it can be pricey. You could try using any fabric scraps for more texture, or even circles of paper and card.

Playtime cookies!

Here in Sydney our kids have just gone back to school after a 2 week break.

If, like ours, your kids are a whole lot happier with sweet treats at the end of the day, then why not whip up a plate?

We made a batch of these gorgeous rainbow cookies to welcome the kids back from school. The verdict? 10 out of 10!

How good is this? One of our awesome readers Zara made this drum. Love the way she has used 2 very different patterns and such a vibrant colour!

Marvellous marbled cookie pops!

These cookies look super impressive but are really easy to make!

And if it takes a few goes to get the marbling right, you might just have to eat the experiments along the way!
