Hi everyone!

We've made it to the last week of the school year! It's almost time to relax and unwind. This week is wellness week! We have picked some activities to help you to focus on a healthy body and mind. We also want to help you to relax and unwind, just in time for the Summer holidays!

We hope you and your families enjoy!

Banana Sushi is a fun way to get kids involved in making their own healthy snack. Simply peel a banana, add your favourite toppings and then cut into bite sized pieces!
Finding healthy snacks that kids actually want to eat can be hard work. As much as we want them to snack on fruits and veggies, getting them away from chocolate and sweets is easier said than done!

I'm a big fan of making snack time as fun as possible for kids; turning it from mindless eating into an activity that they can get involved in.

Realistically I know that most families struggle with time and fitting in activities like this is usually down the bottom of a long list of priorities. But if you do find yourself with some time to spare, maybe on a rainy weekend afternoon, then this is a great activity to get the kids involved in.

The recipe really is so simple. Just peel a banana, add a "sticky" topping like melted chocolate or peanut butter and then add a coating. I've used sprinkles, chia seeds, shredded coconut and rice krispies but you can get creative and use whatever you have at home.

Chop the banana into bitesized pieces and serve straight away. You can even try to get the kids to use chopsticks to eat them!

If you try my Banana Sushi please do leave me a comment and a star rating below. You can also share your pictures with me on on Instagram. I always love to see your creations!

Four delicious smoothie recipes that are packed full of nutritious ingredients from Waitrose. Kid-approved and perfect for the whole family. (Sponsored Post)
If you've been following my blog for some time now you'll know that I am a massive fan of smoothies and shakes for kids, especially when they are packed full of nutritious ingredients and I am really excited to share today four delicious fruit and veggies smoothies that are bright, colourful and healthy too!

I worked with Waitrose to create these smoothies, using lots of products from their ranges, including the Good Health range which makes it really easy to incorporate healthy and nutritious food into a busy family lifestyle.

I made four different flavoured smoothies using a mixture of frozen fruit, fresh bananas and even some sneaky hidden veggies too! All these smoothies are perfect to serve as part of breakfast for the whole family or even as an afternoon snack too.

I've set out the full recipes below and also check out my video showing exactly how I make them!

The first smoothie I made was this delicious Quinoa Berry Smoothie. I used frozen berries which are more affordable and convenient than fresh berries, especially at this time of year and also cooked quinoa and greek yogurt for an added protein boost.

The second smoothie was this really tasty Tropical Green Smoothie. It's the perfect smoothie in which to hid spinach for kids as the fruits make it super sweet!

Next up is my favourite Carrot & Orange Smoothie. I used Waitrose's Sunshine Smoothie Mix which has carrot, mango, kiwi and butternut squash and also added in some leftover cooked carrot and some orange juice for a delicious drink that's sure to put a spring in your step in the morning! I also added some golden linseeds for added fibre and omega 3.

My fourth and final smoothie is this Chocolate Chia Smoothie. It tastes just like a chocolate milk shake but is packed full of protein, fibre and omega 3's and makes a delicious afternoon treat for kids!

For lots more information on the Waitrose Good Health range along with recipes ideas and inspiration check out their website.

And don't forget to check out my video too:

A quick and easy Owl Bird Feeder Craft for you today. Upcycle juice cartons or milk cartons to make this great craft for our feathery friends.

Firstly, I need to apologise on this craft post for you - I forgot to take some photos as we went along!

This Owl Bird Feeder was first published in May 2014 and has been republished for your convenience!

Argh. So we have, uhm a "beginning photo" and an "end photo" of this juice carton craft.... to be honest, I think the bird feeder craft is pretty self explanatory and the additional information, such as what materials we used, you don't need a photo of anyway? Right? So... here, I unceremoniously share with you our Juice Carton Bird Feeder Craft. We do love !

Juice Carton Owl Bird Feeder - Materials:

a juice carton

enamel paints for the garden

stanly knife

plastic bottle lids

googly eyes

craft stick/ lolly stick/ stick

hot glue gun or good PVA glue

Milk Carton Owl Bird Feeder - Steps by Steps Instructions:

Time needed: 1 hour.

Making these Owl Bird Feeders is relatively quick and easy, but you do need to allow for drying times!

1. Paint the Juice Carton
We started off by painting the juice carton. We found we needed to coats to make the colour nice and even. We used enamel paints (for flower pots etc), as these are waterproof. Acrylics are water based and won't last as long. Though you could use acyrlics and then add a coat of waterproof varnish.

2. Cut out your owl feeder shapes
Once dry, using your stanly knife, cut out a "tummy and wings" into the bottom half of your juice or milk carton. I used the the tummy, to then cut a beak shape. As to the wings, don't cut them all out, you want to keep the "flaps" attached. This keeps the seeds a little bit more sheltered and gives you those lovely owl wings!

3. Add the bottle top Owl Eyes
Finally, take your juice carton and glue on your bottle top eyes. And done. I later punched a little hole and hung the bird feeder outside.

4. Fill with bird food
Hang and enjoy.

When it comes to exercise for kids, it's all about making fitness fun. The animal kingdom is a great resource to turn to for inspiration. Kids use their imagination to unleash their inner animal and improve strength, flexibility, and mobility. Try it with your child-you'll get a workout too!

Animal exercises can be a part of your daily indoor routine. Put all of the following exercises in a hat and pick three animals to imitate every day. Do each exercise for 30 seconds, rest, then repeat the circuit three times.

Bear crawl

Start on your hands and knees. Gently lift your knees 1 to 2 inches off the ground. Travel by crawling like a bear, keeping your back flat with your knees bent and close to the ground. Move forward, backward, and laterally.

Challenge 1: Put something on your back-textbook, can of beans, etc.-to throw off your balance.

Challenge 2: If you're feeling extra strong, eliminate one leg or arm.

Crab walk

Start on your bottom with your hands behind your back and legs bent at the knees. Lift your bottom off the ground. Keep your belly as parallel to the ground as possible. Move forward, backward, laterally like a crab.

Challenge 1: Put something on your belly-textbook, shoe, can of beans-to balance.

Challenge 2: Add toe touches. Keeping your bottom off ground, reach a hand across to the opposite foot, repeat on other side.

Gorilla walk

Start in a deep squat with your hands between your legs on the ground like a gorilla. Stay in deep squat as you travel in any direction to build strength and flexibility. Swing your arms while you travel.

Bunny hop

Keep two feet together and hop across the room like a bunny. This exercise will get your heartrate up.

Frog jump

Start in deep squat with your hands on the ground (like the gorilla exercise). Jump up as high as you can with your hands and feet leaving ground at the same time. Land and return to starting position. This builds strength and endurance.

Inchworm

Build strength by walking like an inchworm. Start in a standing position. Bend forward, lower your hands to ground, and keep your feet still as you walk out to a plank. From the plank, keep your hands still as you walk your feet in toward your hands.

Alligator crawl (army crawl)

Start on your belly, staying as low to the ground as possible. Alternate using your right arm and left leg and left arm and right leg to move forward. This builds total-body strength.

Seal crawl

Start in cobra position-legs on the ground, belly and chest off the ground with hands on the ground at your sides. Crawl using only your hands, dragging legs behind to build strength.

Duck

Get your heartrate up by waddling like a duck around the house.

Dinosaur walk

Knees up! Stomp like a dinosaur to release your energy. The higher you can get your knees, the better.
