The Ribena Team, a group of play experts and over 2,000 parents revealed in the Ribena Plus Play Report that:

• 92% of parents believe that imaginary play is important but 16% don’t know how to create it with their child
• Only 32% of kids still play with household items, but 70% play on video games while nine in ten watch DVDs
• 30% of parents ‘feel under pressure to be fun’
• One in seven parents say they ‘don’t know what they’re doing when they are playing with their kids’

So do you agree with what parents are feeling about play and need some ideas yourself?

•    80ml natural yoghurt

Using a mixture of fresh and frozen berries makes this fruit smoothie refreshingly cool and thirst-quenching.

Prep time

5-10 mins

You’ll need:

• 20g frozen blackcurrants (alternatively, you can use summer fruits containing blackcurrants)
• 20g fresh blueberries
• 40g fresh raspberries
• 20g pitted fresh or frozen cherries
• 100ml grape juice

Method

Blitz or blend your ingredients together and, hey presto, your smoothie is ready to drink! We’d love to see your smoothie pictures on our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/RibenaUK.

You can share pictures of your woolly creations over on the Ribena Facebook page and if they’re purple knits then even better.

Right, let’s get started…

1.    Hold the end of the wool between your thumb and forefinger

2.    Weave the wool over your forefinger, behind your middle finger and over your ring finger.

3.    Wind the wool anti-clockwise behind and around your three middle fingers.

4.    Pull the lower loop on your ring finger over the upper piece of wool and away from you, over the top of your finger.

5.    Move the wool held between your thumb and forefinger to between your forefinger and middle finger so that it goes over the wool in front of all three fingers.

6.    Wind the long end of wool attached to the ball anti-clockwise, behind and then around your three middle fingers, and behind your little finger.

7.    On your ring finger, pull the lower loop over the upper piece of wool and then over your finger again so it sits behind your finger. Repeat this on your middle and forefingers so you can see three loops left on your fingers.

8.    Repeat the last two steps until you have knitted as much as you need. You can tighten the knitting by pulling the short piece of wool behind your fingers at any time.

9.    Cast off (finish) by leaving about 15cm of wool free and then cutting with scissors. Thread this end through the three loops on your fingers then remove and pull tight.

Voila, your finger knitting creation is complete!

Why not serve up the family their favourite drink as a spooky fruit punch?

Simply choose your Ribena squash flavour then pour into a bowl and add water.  Then add chopped fruit, such as apples, oranges and strawberries to make a creepy punch, plus jellied spider sweets and candy eyeballs to add a real Halloween edge.

Make sure you serve your Ribena into bowls with a ladle for a witch’s brew effect and we’d love to see pictures of your spooky fruit punches over on our Facebook page.

Happy Halloween!
