As huge fans of Roald Dahl and his amazing stories this is a very exciting year. Not only are we celebrating the 100th anniversary of Roald Dahl’s birth, but 2016 also sees the release of the highly anticipated The BFG Movie. We keep seeing trailers for the new film which looks fantastic. The BFG Movie follows…
Today we’re taking part in the April Kid Craft Challenge. The theme was a favourite childhood character, ours is definitely The BFG at the moment! So far we’ve made The BFG’s Grobswitchy cake and Frobscottle. Today we’re sharing our tutorial for making The BFG’s ears, this would be a perfect addition to an outfit for World…
I think it’s fair to say my 6 year old is enjoying reading The BFG. We’ve been reading a couple of chapters every night and we both look forward to it. Last week we made Grobswitchy cake which was delicious. Today we made the drink Frobscottle, also from The BFG, the only drink available in…
My 6 year old has been working his way through the Roald Dahl books and the latest is The BFG. As soon as we started reading it he asked what crafts we could make, so we looked through our copy of Roald Dahl’s Completely Revolting Recipes and found a recipe for The BFG’s Grobswitchy Cake….
It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of Roald Dahl. I’ve been reading his books with my 5 year old and working our way through Roald Dahl’s Completely Revolting Recipes book too. So far our favourite has been The Twits, my son loved the tricks they play on each other and we even cooked the Wormy…
We’re having so much fun working our way through Roald Dahl’s books we actually have 2 on the go at the moment. We love September as the 13th September is Roald Dahl Day and we made our brilliant Mr Twit gingerbeard biscuit. The festivities continue throughout September culminating in Dahlicious Dress Up Day for Roald…
I mentioned that my 5 year old has fallen for the wonderful stories of Roald Dahl. Although we were reading James and the Giant Peach (which I was really enjoying) he decided we had to stop and read The Twits instead. So, we’ve been reading a couple of chapters each evening and taking a lot…
Earlier in the Summer I started reading chapter books with my 5 year old. He’s reading really well and I thought the style and humour of Roald Dahl’s books would give him extra encouragement to learn more words and improve his reading. The first book we read was George’s Marvellous Medicine, then The Magic Finger…
Did you know that the 13th September is Roald Dahl Day? This Summer we started reading our first chapter book and I chose George’s Marvellous Medicine to read with our 5 year old. He soon got used to fewer pictures and the chapter structure. It’s been a great way to get him to re-tell the…
