Remembrance Day Poppy Field Craft for Kids

This craft is to create the poppy fields left on the battlefields across Europe. It is just a small token of remembrance and thanks for all of those who have ever given the greatest sacrifice in protecting this country.

 To make your own poppy field picture you will need:

  • Cotton wool balls
  • Red, black and green paint
  • Thin paintbrush
  • Thick paintbrush
  • Paper
  1. Dip one of your cotton wool balls into the red paint and stamp in onto your paper to make the petals of the poppy.
  2. Use another cotton wool ball dipped into the black paint to create the centre of the poppy.
  3. Using the thin paintbrush give your flowers their stems and then use the thicker paintbrush (which is lightly dipped into the green paint) to create the grass.

 “When you go home, tell them of us and say, for their tomorrow, we gave our today.” John Edmonds

Heelys Rolls Into Spring With New Collection

Heelys, the original two-in-one wheely shoe launched in 2000, is preparing for the upcoming Easter holidays with its new spring collection. Ideal for encouraging an active, healthy lifestyle, the stylish designs will ensure kids (big and small) will roll through the holidays with ease.

The collection consists of 19 designs, including three brand new Heelys shapes: Reserve Ex, Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood. The Reserve Ex has a basketball shoe style, while the Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood tap into the current Y2K trend for an extra chunky sole.

Match your Heelys to your mood, with designs split across two main aesthetics – a darker colour scheme vs. a lighter, spring-inspired palette. Think camouflage print, graffiti text and paint drips contrasting with pastel colours, tie-dye, metallic laces, foil and rainbow print.

Available in the UK and Europe on the Heelys website and retailers, the collection is available in sizes C12-7 across single or two-wheeled styles. RRPs range from £49.99 to £69.99.
