Pink Pancakes
Animal bookmark
13th September is World Sepsis Day. If you download the sepsis awareness toolkit from
www.worldsepsisday.org/toolkits you can find out why you should wear pink for the day and
even hold a pink picnic! To raise awareness we are making pink pancakes!
Our craft is inspired by three occasions happening this month: Recycling Month,
International Literacy Day and Roald Dahl Day!
This is why we are asking you to use scraps of paper and anything you already have to hand!
As you can tell from our photos, we have created a Fantastic Mr Fox and The Enormous Crocodile.
We hope this craft will teach the children about recycling and will encourage them to
read more fantastic stories!
You will need:
• Construction
paper (or any
thicker paper) in
different colours
• Scissors
• Glue
• Black marker
• Sticky tape
Instructions:
You will need:
• 175g plain flour
• 1 tbsp cornflour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 beetroot cooked, not in
vinegar
• 300ml dairy-free milk
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil plus
more for frying
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Place all the ingredients in a blender and mix until you have a smooth
batter.
2. Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a low-medium heat and add a
spoonful of the batter. Move the pan around to spread the batter to
your desired size.
3. Cook the pancake until you start seeing bubbles on the surface then flip
the pancakes and do the same on the other side.
4. You are done!
5. Serve the pancakes with your favourite toppings. We used maple syrup
and fresh raspberries.
1. Prepare your paper by cutting
it in your desired shapes. We
decided to create our animals
by using simple shapes like
a triangle, a rectangle and a
circle.
2. Firstly, cut the long
rectangular shape for the
body in your chosen colour
which will be the base of
your animal. Then cut out
two small triangles to create
ears. You will then need to cut
two smaller triangles for the
inside of the ears (we used
white paper for that, so there
is a nice contrast between the
colours). You will then need to
make a circle and then cut it
in half to create sides of the
mouth.
3. Using our photos as
examples, glue all the parts in
the right places.
4. To finish the head, use a black
marker and add dots to create
eyes and the nose.
5. Turn the head around and put
the body underneath it. Using
sticky tape, connect the two
parts together.
6. Flip the head back to front
and there you have it, a cute
animal bookmark!
7. You can create different
animals and add loads of
decorations to the body if you
would like to!
