Decorated Wooden Bird House | Kids Craft

Hi Friends, sharing a simple craft which little miss and me did. I had this cute little wooden bird house from my US trip long back. We decided to deck it up for my daughters bird theme birthday party.

Painted it with acrylic paints in metallic pink and golden. Loved the combination! Stuck some colored popsicle sticks on the roof and sprinkled some glitter dust on the front side...easy :)

Do let me know how you liked our little bird house.

Handmade birthday banner and bird theme decor

hi friends, sharing some of the decoration that I did for my daughters bird theme party. Made this cute little bird family with glitter foam sheet. Earlier i thought of making two birds which will hold the name banner in their beak. but i ended up making a pink and a blue bird, so my daughter thought they are daddy bird and mumma bird...so ofcource we needed a baby bird too!

This is from my daughters toy collection. As her love for birds is not a secret, so she has some bird toys who start sining on listening to any sound. and the other one repeats whatever is said..beware! I asked a mango seller near my home to give me some hay for the nest..he was quiet surprised for the unusual demand! hehe

These are the haning bird with glitter foam and accordian folded wings..will share these in more detail in next post

Tried making a photo banner with some pics of my daughter from sydney where she was merrily playing and feeding the birds.

the night photo shoot when the name banner was ready..for this i cut out 6 big cicles of white paper. Decorated them with small punch circles. The glitter alphas are ready made. Then tied a ribbon from behind.

Vermicelli bird's nests - sweet dish for bird theme party

Prepared these cute little nests for my daughters bird theme birthday! They are so easy to make and taste delicious. It was loved by Kids and adults. I was glad that my first time experiment was very well liked. It looks so unique and innovative that some of my relatives could not stop drooling over these, asking recipe to impress in their parties :)

Lets to to the recipe without much adieu..

You can check the original recipe here. I followed the same, but added milk for cooking the vermicelli. Since cooking only in condensed milk left it very hard. So I softened it a little in milk.

Butter - 2 tbsp

Dessicated coconut - ¼ cup

Cardamom powder - 1 tbsp

Rose water - 1 tbsp

Pistachio, Almonds

Heat butter in a pan.Add vermicelli and roast till it turns golden brown.

Add condensed milk and mix well. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Add milk and cook for 2 min.

Add desiccated coconut, cardamom powder and rose water. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Take 2 tbsp of mixture and form into a nest. Top with chopped nuts!

Cake Pops | Kids Birthday Party Idea

Happy 5th birthday dear blog and my love. .my daughter!  Yes they share their birthday month..just a week apart!  So you know how this blog is like a baby to me. And a sibling to my kiddo..helping me document her chirpings..her learnings.. .her tantrums..her activities which we love doing together!  And not to forget her very clever conversations!  

Kiddo and me together made these cake pops on her last birthday in Sydney.  Super excited as we always are.. had lotta fin making these and getting messy! She wanted us to make these again this year.. But being super busy in office and home..could not get myself to do it this time. Hope todo it soon! 

These aee really simple to make with no cooking involved.  Do give it a try with your kids..m sure ut will be fun! :)

Ingredients 

Any cake - crumble it ( i used chocolate cake )

Condensed milk / Milk Maid / Any frosting - 1- 2 tbsp ( depends on moistness of the cake )

Dark Chocolate - around 50 gms

Vegetable oil - 1 - 2 tsp ( one with very mild flavor )

Sprinkles / decorating

Lollipop sticks / fruit sticks

Method : 

Take cake in a wide bowl.Crumble the cake with your fingers such that it resembles coarse bread crumbs.To start with , add a tbsp of condensed milk to the crumbs. Mix it using your hands. Check if you are able to form a ball. If it is little dry, add some more condensed milk and make a dough. But be careful not to add too much and make it too soft.It should just hold shape

Divide the dough into small balls. Smoothen the surface by greasing your hands.

Cover n keep in freezer for abt 1-3 hours.

When its time to take out cake balls from fridge , prepare coating . Before you start melting chocolates keep all the things handy like sprinkles,stick,chocolate etc. Because decoration part has to be done quickly before chocolate coating hardens.

Cut dark chocolates to small pieces and melt it using double boiler method. i.e Fill a saucepan with water and keep it on stove to heat.Take chocolate pieces in another bowl and place it inside / above the saucepan.Take care that water doesn't enter into choco bowl .Now the from the heat of the inner saucepan chocolate gets melted .To it add oil , mix and bring to dropping consistency. 

Dip one end of the stick into the melted chocolate and insert gently to the cake balls. This will help the stick to adhere to cake balls. But do not pierce too deep or the cake ball may fall apart. Do for all the balls.

Now dip cake balls into chocolate coating. Swirl, rotate such that whole cake balls are covered well.Shake off gently side ways to remove extra coating.

Now quickly decorate the cake pops by sprinkling some sprinkles before chocolate dries off. My little one helped wth this step :)

Stick the cake pops to themocoal and allow them to dry. 

Once the chocolate is set , serve them . You can keep in fridge for a week and relish as required like any other chocolates .
