Weekend Box Club Review - Part 2

Weekend Box Club Review - Rocking Spring Bird
We took our second dip into our Weekend Box this week. 

This time we let Georgie have a go too. He is technically too young - the boxes are aimed at 3 to 8 year old's - but he really wanted to get involved so we split the last two activities up between us.

Rocking Spring Bird

I worked with little Georgie on the Rocking Bird.

He loved getting messy mixing our own paint, painting the card circle, and gluing the decorations on. He did need a lot of help (he's 23 months) but really enjoyed himself and has played with the bird we made since. I was really nice that there was something in the kit which he was able to join in with while his big brothers did something a little more challenging.

Weekend Box Club Review - Rocking Spring Bird (Georgie Painting)Sound Explorers

Meantime the Hubby got involved and worked on the Sound Explorers card with Jack and Tom. Tom is coming up to 4yrs and Jack turned 6 this weekend so they are the perfect age for these.

They worked together nicely and had a great time making all the animal noises, Jack got to work on his writing by working out how the noises should be written down.

They had great fun trying to recreate the Robot Voice and Jack absolutely LOVED his new noise maker!



We have loved these activities! 

They are a brilliant way to occupy and entertain your kids on a wet weekend, or as an alternative to hectic days out. I can see us doing a lot more of these, especially over the Summer Holiday this year while we're waiting for the new baby to make an appearance!

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
