Why not spend some time with the children<br />
before Christmas making home-made goodies<br />
and decorations. Here are a few ideas to try.<br />
Decorations for the Tree<br />
Home-made decorations are always the most popular on<br />
the tree, but edible home-baked trinkets are even<br />
better. You can use your favourite biscuit recipe or why<br />
not try our recipe for stained glass biscuits – you’ll find<br />
it online at www.familiestvw.co.uk/jewelbiscuits<br />
You can of course use your own cutters or a knife but these festive<br />
biscuit cutters from Lakeland are perfect for creating ornamental<br />
shapes. There are 4 large and 4 small cutters in different shapes, plus<br />
mini cutters for creating a hole to thread ribbon through or to cut out a pattern.<br />
Perfect for the tree or to give as presents. Tree Trinket Cookie Cutters, from<br />
Lakeland ref 14493, £9.99<br />
Chocolate<br />
Balls<br />
This Swedish recipe, sent in<br />
by one of our readers, is<br />
simple enough for even<br />
quite young children to<br />
make.<br />
50g butter<br />
100ml sugar<br />
250ml oats<br />
3 tablespoons cocoa<br />
1 tablespoon milk (or cold coffee)<br />
Simply mix it all together well with<br />
your hands and form into little balls.<br />
Easy peasy! Keep in an airtight tin.<br />
