KidsplayTHE WORLD IS ONE BIG ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND FOR KIDS, AS THEY EXPLORE AND DISCOVER THE WORLD AROUND THEM. YOU CAN JOIN IN THE FUN WITH THESE SIMPLE, SAFE AND EXTREMELY ENJOYABLE (AND COLOURFUL!) EXPERIMENTS WHICH USE EVERYDAY THINGS FROM AROUND THE HOUSE.

MAGIC MILKWhat you’ll need:

• Food colouring (2 or more different colours)

• A shallow dish – such as a pie pan

• Full-cream milk

• Dishwashing detergent

1. Pour milk into the pie pan until it is about

half full. Wait for the milk to reach room

temperature.

2. Randomly place a few drops of each food

colour into the milk.

3. Next, place a few drops of dishwashing

detergent into the milk.

4. Watch as the colours swirl to create

beautiful patterns.

INTERESTING FACT: THE SOAP BREAKS DOWN THE FAT IN THE MILK AND CAUSES THE FOOD COLOURING TO SWIRL WHICH HELPS MAKE SOME VERY FUNKY DESIGNS.

“LAVA LAMP”What you’ll need:

• Vegetable oil

• Water

• Empty soft drink or water bottle (clear)

• Food colouring

• Plastic cup

1. Fill the clear plastic bottle about ¾ full with vegetable oil.

2. Fill the plastic cup with water and add a few drops of

food colouring. One colour is best. Stir.

3. Add the coloured water to the bottle with oil and screw

the lid on tight.

4. Turn the bottle sideways and watch as the colour moves

its way up and down the bottle making funny shapes

and blobs.

INTERESTING FACT: OIL AND WATER DON’T MIX – THE TWO LIQUIDS SEPARATE THEMSELVES INTO LAYERS. THIS EXPLAINS WHY SOME ANIMALS SUCH AS SEALS CAN SWIM AROUND IN ICY COLD WATER QUITE HAPPILY, BECAUSE THEIR COATS ARE OILY!

MILD VEGETABLE CURRYOlive oil

Onion, finely chopped

clove garlic, finely chopped

1 carrot, diced

½ teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon garam masala

pinch paprika

tin of coconut cream

½ cup frozen peas

1 head of broccoli, chopped

Chopped mixed vegetables (eg eggplant, sweet

potato, pumpkin, cauliflower, green beans)

To serve: boiled or steamed rice, poppadums,

coriander, chutney, natural yoghurt.

Heat oil in pan and add onion, garlic and carrot.

Saute for two minutes then add spices, cooking

gently for five minutes or until the spices darken

and almost stick to the pan.

Add chopped mixed vegetables, stirring to coat

them in the spices, then cover with coconut cream

and a little water if necessary.

Cover pan and simmer until vegetables are tender

(around 20 mins), then add broccoli and frozen

peas and cook for further 15 mins.

Serve with rice and accompaniments.

EASY PUMPKIN SOUPThis soup also tastes great if you include other root

vegetables such as potato, sweet potato, or parsnip - just

add a little more liquid and cook until all vegies are tender.

2 cups peeled & chopped pumpkin

1 diced carrot

1 diced onion

1 tspn nutmeg OR 1tspn ground coriander

Approximately 600 mls water and 1 chicken stock cube

(or use readymade chicken stock)

Place all the vegies in a saucepan. (If you have more

time, add extra flavour by sautéing them in a little olive

oil until they begin to brown.)

Add water and crumbled stock cube (or just use

readymade chicken stock) until vegetables are just

covered with liquid.

Add nutmeg or coriander.

Bring to the boil and then simmer for approximately

15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Blend or process until smooth using a blender. You can

also push through a sieve if you don’t have a blender.

Serve into bowls and top with a dollop of cream, sour

cream, natural yoghurt or marscapone cheese, then

sprinkle with chopped chives and serve with Cheese Toast.

CHEESE TOASTSprinkle a slice of bread with parmesan cheese, then

using a knife, smooth over the cheese with butter or

margarine - the cheese will mix into the butter. Make

sure you butter right to the crust. Then flip the bread

over and do the same to the other side. Fry in a little

olive oil for 30 seconds on each side. Remove from the

pan when the bread starts to toast and serve.

Winter wellness tips

We asked the KIDS team their tips for staying well during winter...

Take some time to rest and recover. Our kids need time to rest and recharge. The holidays are a

chance to take a break from hectic weekly schedules and have some quite time at home with the family. A well rested child is far less likely

to pick up the winter bugs. - Renee

1. Stay in bed! Preferably with an electric blanket!

2. Remember to open windows when the sun is out and let in light. Being holed up in the winter can mean a dark,

damp feeling house with no air circulation. Sometimes

you don’t realise that it’s actually warmer outside than inside.

3. Walk on the beach in Winter. 4. Don’t forget

to drink water.

- SimoneOlive Leaf extract,

Vitamin C and some sun.- Kellie




If you feel a sore throat or cold starting. Make a strong hot tea with freshly cut

ginger, fresh lemon juice and slices, and honey. Drink a few cups each day.

Kids might just sip on a teaspoon of honey. Slow down, rest and get plenty of sleep.

- Michelle

Coloured Fish is an origami fish installation created

school of origami fish.

This school of fish represents an average primary

school in Australia with 840 pupils… most of the

fish are made from old books because most kids in

school can read, write and spell words. The coloured

fish… are the dyslexic kids (10%)… and have been

made by dyslexic kids from all over Australia. Please

read our names and ages and find out what we are

good at. We learn differently but if you give us a

chance we can be fabulous.”

There are origami worksheets and recycled paper for

visitors to fold their own fish.
