Bake Cupcakes in Ice Cream Cones We love cupcakes for parties. Reduce a bit of waste and make a fun tweak on the concept by baking the cake in ice cream cones. Lifehacker.com shares the instructions: Prepare your cake batter as normal and add 1/4 cup to 2/3 cup of batter into each cone. Place the cones in the muffin tin and bake at 350-degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or so.

After the cupcakes cool, add frosting and whatever ice-cream toppings you like that will work. This works great for kid parties and can liven up routine potlucks or office birthdays.

Alysa Prabhu Pink Pepper Craft Studio Qatar +(974) 55198511

My name is Alysa. I have been crafty all my life. My favourite crafts always involve some kind of paper. I just love paper! I also love parties - and I adore making fun invitations and decorations to bling up birthdays or seasonal events.

The most important thing about crafting with small children is that they love that you are spending time with them making things. This simple joy is the reason why my mother and I started Pink Pepper in Australia and Qatar. I get great satisfaction from designing and producing craft kits for children, and sometimes I really wonder if there is any chance I will ever grow up. I hope you enjoy these crafts as much as I do!

Tutorial #1 Fingerprint Critters and Creatures Ages under 5 Smaller children may require supervision

MI N YI UT NG E S

DR

Use fingerprints to create animals, people, flowers, or whatever else!

Each print is easily enhanced by a few simple black lines to transform them from a smudge into a bug or a glitzy girl. You will love the whimsical effect of mixing paint and markers.

What you need: • Water colour paint • Heavy cardstock or canvas board • Black fine tip marker • Googly Eyes • Craft Glue • Old Clothing or an art smock • Newspapers to protect the work surface Instructions 1 Show your child how to dip her finger into the paint and stamp it onto the piece of paper.

2 Repeat the process over and over using different fingers and different colours. She can also create whole handprints (or even toe prints!).

Allow to dry thoroughly.

3 Show her how to add wings, stripes, googly eyes, fins and tails, feelers, spider webs, legs, teeth, beaks and wings, etc.

4 For fun gift tags or bookmarks simply cut the creatures out and add a piece of string to them

Tutorial #2 Button Topiary (Tree)

Buttons are such a wonderful and versatile element of crafting as you can do so many things with them!

Ages 5+

• Buttons of assorted shapes & colours.

No buttons? Use pom poms, diamante, rhinestones or dried flowers - anything that can be glued to paper or canvas.

Smaller children may require supervision

What you need:

• An art canvas, heavy-duty cardstock or art paper • Liquid craft glue • Paint, pencils, crayons or markers • A bamboo skewer (Tip: Paint the buttons with your favorite nail polish for a custom look!)

Instructions 1 Break the bamboo skewer in half, trim the rough edge and paint it in whatever colour you wish.

2 Glue the skewer onto the bottom centre of the paper. Use a large glass to draw a circle on top of the stick and paint or colour the circle.

3 Arrange the buttons (or other materials) inside the circle, starting at the edge of the circle and working your way toward the centre. Layer the buttons for a 3D effect. When you are happy with the design, glue them one at a time onto the cardstock. Fill in any gaps by gluing on another layer of buttons.

4 To create the topiary pot, simply cut a rectangle of cardstock, paint it and then glue it on top of the stick at the bottom of the page. You could also add a ribbon to the stem.

5 Allow to dry fully before framing or hanging.
