This is a favourite activity of Cath, our Forest School leader and something that the children always love doing at Pippins. All you need is an old pan, cup, dish or empty yoghurt pot, and a spoon or stick to stir it.
Send the children to collect interesting ingredients: leaves, grass, twigs, flowers (but tell them if there are any they can’t pick!), stones, soil, crushed chalk, paint, bubble mixture, etc. If you don’t have access to a garden, you can find some good ingredients in the house. Then mix it all up!
There are lots of variations: cook it on a pretend campfire or play kitchen. Add mud to thicken. Make it as stinky as possible – or as nice as possible. Dish it up in small plates and serve to family or toys. Have a teddy bear’s picnic or cafe. Is it a magic potion? If so, what does it do? Does it give you special powers?

You will need:
A book your child likes
Paper and crayons
Child-safe scissors

Now time to make your puppets:
Step 1: Ask your child to choose a character or object they like from the book.
Step 2: Get them to draw a picture of it, or find a picture online that you can print and colour. Then help your child cut it out and stick it to the lollipop stick (or whatever you’re using as the stick for your puppet).
Step 3: Read the book aloud and encourage your child to use the puppet when the character or object appears.
