ANZAC Poppies

On Thursday, the 23rd of April I made ANZAC poppies to remember ANZAC day.
To make these plastic poppies you will need:
- The bottom part of a plastic bottle
- A tealight
- A chopstick or something to use as a poppy stalk
- Some sort of glue (I used a hot glue gun)
- An adult’s supervision

First cut the bottom part of a bottle off so you have a cup sort of thing. Now colour the bottle in appropriate colours (red with a black centre). Cut the rounder, more pushed in bits, to a petal shape. Next light the candle. Hold the bottle slightly above the candle until it pops the petal in slightly. Now you should have a poppy.

Now your poppy is done you need to attach a stick as a stalk. Just glue the poppy and stick the stick to it.

You should now have a poppy to represent and remember ANZAC day!

ANZAC Biscuits

Today I made ANZAC biscuits. They were originally made for the ANZAC's or Australia New Zealand Army Corps, during the war. These were the biscuits which were sent for the ANZAC's because they were hard and wouldn't get soft, soggy, or gross during the boat ride to get to them. The biscuits don't actually have a name, they were just called the ANZAC biscuits because the ANZAC's were the one's eating them I guess.

Here are some pictures of me making and cooking the biscuits. They were delicious!

Making Puppets

I had so much fun creating and playing with my puppet and I hope you get great use out of this slideshow too.
