A Good Read Play Time
Children will enjoy making this cake during a Halloween party.
Have all the ingredients laid out on the table in bowls for the children to examine. The more disgusting these ingredients are the better! Supermarkets stock sweets or plastic toys at this time of year in the shape of worms, spiders, eyeballs etc.
The recipe could be: 400g mud, 1 cup frogspawn (tapioca), 1 cup of slime (green food colouring in yoghurt), 1 cup blood (red coloured water), a handful each of worms, spiders, bats and eyeballs.
Each child can add an ingredient to a large bowl, and stir. They can dollop the fi nished mixture into a cake tin and watch an adult place it in a (cold) oven.
While they look for apples, sneakily swap the cake for (an edible) one you made earlier and covered in similar gruesome sweets. Let children see this removed from the oven, and serve!

by Sue Hendra Sue Hendra will be familiar
to parents
everywhere as the creator of Barry, Keith and Norman – a fi sh, a cat and a slug respectively, all with rather odd features. Her latest creation is Supertato – a crime fi ghting superhero who just happens to be a spud. Strange? Not if you have already read about the fi sh with fi ngers!
As Hendra points out at the start, some vegetables are frozen for a good reason. The supermarket is thrown into chaos when a pea escapes from the freezer, intent on causing mayhem. Luckily Supertato is there to save the day, facing up bravely to the threat of the masher in order to ensure that the veggies can live safely again.
Be warned, though – some editions of the book come with stickers.
Once they
have fi nished laughing, your children may fi nd them.

To be
honest, if they can get that absorbed in the book, it has to be a good thing!
