Did you know that National Pet Month runs from 1st April to the 7th May. It’s all about raising awareness of responsible pet ownership, celebrating the benefits of our pets and encouraging fundraising for the nation’s needy pets.
My children would love a real pet but I’m afraid they have to make do with pretend ones! To celebrate National Pet Month we have been busy baking dog shaped gingerbread biscuits and opening the latest LOL Surprise Pets.
Celebrating National Pet Month with LOL Surprise Pets
The children were sent a parcel of cookie cutters, paw print chocolate lollies and a LOL Surprise Pet to open. They ate the lollies straight away and then we had fun making some gingerbread biscuits in the shape of dog bones and dogs.
I made the gingerbread dough from my favourite gingerbread recipe here, and had it all ready so we could roll it out, cut out the shapes and bake it when they got home from school. They both loved the special cookie cutters and before you knew it we had trays of delicious biscuits.
The smell was amazing, it filled the whole house. Fortunately they only took 10 minutes and we had some delicious after school treats. Then it was try to unbox the LOL Surprise Pet.
We’ve reviewed a LOL Surprise Pet before and my daughter really loved it. She loves LOL Surprise and the pets are super cute. She had so much fun unravelling each layer and finding the surprise in each one.
I’m not sure if it’s because she’s getting older or has just figured out the LOL Surprise but she loved figuring out the motto, the stickers and finding out which Pet she had.
She was delighted with Fuzzy Fan from the Cosplay Club series. She came with a red beret and little collar accessory. There was also a little shovel to play with the dough! She had a lot of fun although we haven’t yet played with it in water. Now the weather has cheered up it’s just perfect for getting outside and water play!
