2. One thing that Lindsay’s mum was always getting cross about was the number of advertising leaflets that came through their door every day. (When I found out that the paper in them comes from trees, it made me cross as well!) But the colours in them are usually really pretty . . . so why not make them into paper chains for your tree? Cut them into strips, get out the glue or sticky tape and put the chains together. Loads of fun, and eco-friendly, too.
3. Finally . . . why not think about having a Christmas tree with a root ball so that you can plant it outside after the holidays, instead of one that’s been chopped down? We fairies will thank you for it!
Merry Christmas!
Twink’s Tracing Challenge
Place a thin piece of paper over the picture of me below. Hold the paper in place and carefully draw around me. Remove the paper from the page and have fun decorating my outfit.
You could try:
• colouring me with pencils, crayons or paint
• sticking pieces of material, coloured paper or foil to my dress
• adding glitter to my wings to make them really twinkle!
Twink’s Festive Treats
After tasting chocolate for the first time, I came up with the idea of mixing it with some of my favourite fairy food ingredients, like scrummy oats and honey. Here’s my recipe for Festive Treats so you, your friends and family can enjoy them too. Yum!
You will need a responsible adult to help you make these!
You’ll also need a large saucepan, a cake tin 20 cm x 30 cm, a smaller pan and a glass bowl to fit snugly on top, a wooden spoon, a metal spoon and measuring scales to weigh out the ingredients (g = grams)
1. Set the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a very low heat.
3. Add the demerara sugar, honey and mixed spice and mix well using the wooden spoon.
4. Mix together the sultanas and oats and stir them into the melted butter mixture. You’ll find it easier adding a little at a time. Make sure all the oats are covered in the mixture.
5. Mash the banana to a liquid pulp and mix into the oats mixture. Make sure the oats, banana and sultanas are well mixed together.
6. Rub a little butter around the cake tin and spoon in the mixture. Press down with the back of a spoon, ensuring it is evenly spread and about 4 cm deep.
7. Place on to the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, until the edges are just turning golden brown.
8. Take out and set to one side to cool.
If you want to make a chocolate topping, break the chocolate into chunks and carefully melt it in the glass bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Keep stirring the chocolate until it is fully melted. Then spread the melted chocolate over the cooled oats mixture, using the back of the metal spoon to make it nice and even.
Leave the Festive Treats to cool for half an hour, then cut into slices and share with your best friend!
