WAFFLES - Gluten Free Friendly Thermomix Recipe - Courtsey of Kirsty

Gluten Free Waffle Thermomix recipe

Making waffles for the kids can be time consuming with a bit of messing about with the batter with beating the egg whites separately etc. After much nagging on a school holiday morning with no plans, Kirsty decided to have a play with and convert a Thermomix Recipe to make it quick and Gluten Free.

Kirsty has a Sunbeam Penguin Woddles Maker. Her kids love it! You can fill up the penguins belly with syrup, icecream, honey or fruit.

Waffle batter

1 cup white wings SR flour (can use normal SR) 1 egg, separated 1/3 cup milk 1/4 cup water 45g olive oil 1 1/2 tbsp caster sugar

Recipe Instructions

Place egg white in Thermomix with butterfly whisk. 40 seconds, 37 degrees, speed 3.5. Gradually add sugar on speed 3, over 20 seconds. Remove from bowl and set aside. In bowl (with butterfly), add egg yolk, flour, milk, water and oil. 20 seconds, speed 3. Remove butterfly, add egg white and fold in for 10 seconds, speed 1.

Use batter in your waffle iron.

ENJOY! Thanks Kirsty

The Pokemon Go craze has brought with it a number of creative ways to incorporate Pokemon Go into Party Celebrations. Here are a few Pokemon Go craft ideas that we are sure your kids will love!

Paper Plate Poke Ball - via Little Bins for Little Hands

This is so simple for the younger Pokemon Go fans. Using Paper plates (2 per ball), red and black markers (or we used coloured tissue paper), black tape (from Bunnings)

Pokemon Ball Suncatcher - via AndNextComeEl

Make this simple Pokemon Ball Suncatcher using Clear Contact, black/red/white crepe paper

PokeBall Party Favours for Pokemon Go Party Celebrations - via Frog Prince and Paperie

This took us a little longer than 10 mins due to the painting of the foam balls (we used Foam Balls from the Local craft store as we couldn't source plastic balls cheaply in Australia). This is an AWESOME idea for party favours!

Pokemon Go Papercraft Cubes - Via Deviant Art CharrChan

These take a little time to download. however they would be great as an addition to a Party Take Home Favor Bag or if there were a high number of girls who love craft!

PokeBall Colouring Sheet - via ANDNEXTCOMESL

Encore Kids Parties used this at our local Family Restaurant as a PokemonGo activity for the kids, and they LOVED IT! Kids will have a great time designing their very own PokeBalls.

Edible PokeBalls - Via Mum In The Madhouse

Simply cut the red wax from a Babybel cheese and add black thin tape! Awesome idea for the Pokemon Go Food Table!

Pikachu Origami - Via Red Ted Art

Watch the YouTube clip for fulkl instructions - you will need yellow paper, markers and a love of origami!

Enjoy!

Planning A Paw Patrol Party? Paw Patrol is a popular TV program on Nickelodeon that follows 6 rescue dogs who are lead by a tech-savy kid, Ryder to protect their community. Each dog has a special skill or gadget that helps them to do jobs like rescuing a cat or saving a train from a rockslide. We have had many requests from Perth Mums to help create a "Paw Patrol Party" for their child - one that is filled with heaps of games and activities. The Mum's love to style the party with themed party food and decorations, whilst we take care of entertaining the kids. Here are some games that have a Paw Patrol Twist that the kids of Perth are loving!

Guest Arrival

It's best to let kids warm up when they first arrive and what better way than to colour in their favourite Paw Patrol Characters.

When guests have arrived we want to get them up and moving and what better way to do this than playing Chase Says which is a simple twist on a traditional party game - Simon Says.

Skye's Loop & Hoop Game

you will need several Hula hoops and a stack of white paper. You will also need string to hang them from either trees or the ceiling, depending on where you are playing the game. Hang the hoops at different heights based on what the age range can handle. Have each child make a paper airplane and then line the children up. Children will take turns trying to fly their planes just like Skye. They will try to get them through each hoop.

Zuma's Water Rescue Relay

Kids love to move their bodies and what better way than have them run, hop, jump and crawl using your very own obstacle course. We use an array of cones, hula hoops and play tunnels. For this game you'll also need a small tub with some water in it and some small figures. The object of the game is to help Zuma rescue from the water. Have kids run thru your obstacles and at one end of the obstacle course have the bowl of water with figurines. Have the kids retrieve or "rescue" a figurine, run back to the start line and tag the next player. Figurines are collected and tallied. The team with the most figurines at the end of say a 3 minute relay time are the winners!

Rubble, Rubble, Chase.

Kids love playing the traditional fun game of Duck, Duck, Goose. In this game, kids sit down in a circle facing each other. One person is "it" and walks around the circle. As they walk around, they tap people's heads and say whether they are a "rubble" or a "chase". Once someone is the Chase they get up and try to chase "it" around the circle. The goal is to tap that person before they are able sit down in the chase's spot. If the chase is not able to do this, they become "it" for the next round and play continues. If they do tap the "it" person, the person tagged has to sit in the centre of the circle. Then the Chase becomes it for the next round. The person in the middle can't leave until another person is tagged and they are replaced.

Pass the Bone Relay

WE play this game as a simple running relay with a twist! Line up the kids in two straight even lines and have each child run up to a bowl (or crawl on all fours like a Puppy) which has a "bone" we use Gummy Bear Lollies and have them eat the Lolly. Once they have successfully eaten the lolly they pick up a Dog Treat Bone from the pile next to the plate, run back and tag the next player. The team with the most "bones" wins the relay. Ensure that each player is provided with a new paper bowl for hygenie reasons.

Back Up Games just in case you need more Fun include Parachute Play, Pass the Chase Toy, Musical Bobs and Donuts on a string.

Simply cut off the plastic labels on your existing bottles, cut a length of duct tape, wrap it around the bottle where the label used to be. I found many cool coloured tapes at Office works for a giant roll for $6.00!
