Show us your Easter crafts

[Maz]

Thought I'd start this thread in the run up to Easter, so we can post any crafts - whether for hamsters, by children or just generally

I haven't made anything yet - but have eaten quite a few mini eggs ha ha. We get some in and they get eaten before Easter. Originally I used to get them to go on top of a simnel cake but haven't got round to making one for a few years.

Sounds delicious! Great theme idea!

I don’t suppose anyone has any Easter crafts do they? I’m afraid I haven’t done anything yet Life gets busy doesn’t it?

 

[RainbowBrite]

I have not made anything either. I attempted to make a ramp for Sprite but it did not go down well.

 

[Maz]

Im not particularly good at crafts. But making some hamster Easter treats might be nice.

I'm planning to do some baking next week for Easter and will try to post photos.

I completely forgot it was Easter next week!
Have to try & think of something for the hams…..

 

[Maz]

I almost did as well - it's quite early this year.

I often do get crafty, but I’ve been too busy getting ready for my new job which starts next week (at last!), so I’m afraid I haven’t made anything!

 

[Maz]

That’s exciting to be starting it

Does that mean Sprite gave it the thumbs down?

He rushed to it and went under it and bit it. I was only trying to make it easier for him to go in his dig box as he refuses to use a bit of cork I put there.

So I made some hamster Easter treats. I’m not very good at getting things egg shaped so I bought a set of two silicone moulds. Egg and bunny shapes.

It’s a made up recipe so I hope it tastes ok! I can’t see why not.

It’s 2 tablespoons of oats
2 teasooons pumpkin seeds
A level tablespoon broken walnut pieces
Half a finely grated apple
1 egg beaten.

If wanting it without fruit I guess you could use grated vegetables instead or just leave it out.

Cooked them at 170 degrees fan for about 20 minutes

The test will be if the hamsters eat them!

The egg shaped ones are at the back and the bunny shaped ones at the front. They are knobbly of course due to the ingredients

They kind of look like mini sausages! I think egg makes them browner and shinier.

Here’s a bunny and an egg closer up

 

[RainbowBrite]

They look amazing! I cannot wait to find out what Raffy and Tino think of them. That was a good idea to get the moulds.

Ooh, they look nicely baked brown, just right. I think they must be delicious!
