Boredom Busting Activities

When the UK went in to lockdown during the coronavirus outbreak, Danny and his daughter, Lola, started to post daily 'Boredom Busting Activities' to help families fill their days at home.

All of the content uploaded to our Facebook page was a roaring success.

We had several thousand views, lots of new followers, and our videos were picked up by a couple of YouTube channels! We hope you like them…

  • Chocolate Cornflake Cakes

    Ingredients for 6 cakes:

    • 90g milk chocolate

    • 50g cornflakes

    • One tablespoon of golden syrup

    • One teaspoon of unsalted butter

    • A splash of milk

    Method:

    Break up the chocolate in to small pieces and place in a saucepan. With an adult’s help, turn on the oven stove top to a low, simmering heat.

    Using a plastic spatula stir regularly and slowly add the golden syrup. Add a splash of milk and the butter and keep stirring until all the ingredients have melted. Turn off the heat.

    Add the cornflakes to the pan and mix well. Add the contents to 6 cupcake holders and leave to cool and set for 15-20 minutes.

    Eat and enjoy!

    Try saying these phrases over and over again. Speed up if you can and see if you can still say them!

    Great for getting your mouth working before doing drama or singing. Also just really fun, especially if you challenge your parents and carers at home...
