Childhood Guy Fawkes Fun
It’s Guy Fawkes night, so last weekend we had loads of fun. We enjoyed collecting sticks for our bonfire.
We all made a guy together. BB drew the face on the mask while his sisters stuffed newspaper into the clothes for the Guy. They all got really excited about this and then proceeded to play with the guy once he was finished!
We had edible chocolate finger sparklers, by dipping a chocolate finger into some hot water (parental supervision necessary) and then into some sprinkles, Yum!
We set up the bonfire with the Guy on top, then Grandad lit the fire while we all watched. The children were mesmerised.
We took our lanterns we made earlier in the week outside to see glow, whilst we watched some fireworks. They all really enjoyed this, but Pinky refused to take her fingers out of her ears the whole time.
After the fireworks we all came inside for some Rocket sausages made from a sausage on a stick with a triangle of pepper on the top and tortilla chips on the sides. They were loved by all!
It was a really lovely Guy Fawkes with the whole family, Grandparents, uncles nephews, aunt. Everyone had lots of great childhood fun.
A great guy! Love the look of your chocolate fingers sparklers too.
Thanks, the children had so much fun that day

So many great ideas here. Love the chocolate sparklers and rocket sausages – looks like lots of fun was had.
Thank you, the kids loved the food a well as all the things we did
The food fun is a great inspiration – I’m not surprised they enjoyed them. I also liked the home made lanterns, they looked fab. What a great family effort for some brilliant fun. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
Thanks, it was a great day for everyone

I loved making chocolate sparklers when I saw them on Red Ted Art’s blog.I love the idea of the rocket sausages, I’ll steal that idea fr next year.I’m over from Country Kids.
My mum suggested the idea of edible sparklers, I hadn’t seen them anywhere else, they were great and the rocket sausages were fun too.
