Wishing you all a Happy Easter!

It's that time of year again when mini eggs are lining the supermarket shelves. But, did you know that, just like grapes, they are the perfect size to block a small child's airway and choke them? And, their hard shell can make it difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques. With whole grapes it is advised to cut them in half lengthways and ideally into quarters to create thin strips. But chopping up mini eggs isn't as easy. So, what can you do? 1. Hide them from the children and eat them yourself – good luck with that! 2. Break them into small pieces with a rolling pin. Or, crush them in a pestle and mortar. Or melt them a little first. 3. Opt for a different treat. Larger, hollow eggs are much safer for little ones.

A cute idea for those odd socks! Take a sock, fill half way with uncooked rice and secure at the top with rubber band, separate the head and body with another rubber band. Cut the top of the sock in half to make the ears and shape with scissors. Draw eyes and nose and cover the bands with ribbon. We would love to see your bunny if you make one!
