Top Sleepover TIPS
Kenny’s Beach Picnic Treats

Hi everyone!

Here are my fave recipes for chilling out on a hot summer’s day…

Homemade Lemonade

You will need:

6 lemons
150g (5oz) granulated sugar

Squeeze the lemon juice into a bowl, removing all pips.
Add the sugar and 2.5 pints of boiling water, stir and let it cool.
Leave in the fridge overnight.

Now you have a refreshing drink for a hot summer’s day, or a cool wake-up drink for the morning after a sleepover!

Fruit Kebabs

You will need:

Wooden skewers
Pineapple, cut into chunks
Strawberries (whole, with the green stalks removed)
Mango, cut into chunks
Grapes, green and red (whole)
Kiwi fruit, peeled and cut into chunks

Thread the fruit chunks on to the wooden skewers for an outdoor snack in the sun.
Try dipping the strawberries into melted chocolate and refrigerate on sheets of greaseproof paper before adding them to the kebab. Yum.

Summer Berry Crush

You will need:

1 litre carton of cranberry and raspberry juice
150g (5oz) raspberries
150g (5oz) strawberries
150g (5oz) blueberries

Mix the ingredients together in a blender and liquidise until smooth.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to each glass, or pour over crushed ice.

Fliss’s Funky Flip-flops

Bored with your plain old flip-flops? Why not jazz them up for your sleepover?

You will need:

Plain flip-flops
Buttons, sequins, rhinestones, bows (anything small and pretty)
Adhesive craft pads or double-sided sticky tape

Work out a pretty design using the buttons, or whatever you can find.
Use the pads/sticky tape to attach them to the strappy part of your flip-flops!

Have your own summer sleepover, whatever the weather!

Bring bathing suits, sarongs, sunglasses and flip-flops and get dressed up.
Make Kenny’s refreshing picnic treats.
Blow up a balloon, split into two teams and stand facing each other on either side of the room. Play indoor beach volleyball. Watch the ornaments!

Have a brilliant time at your own sleepovers, whatever you do! See you next time – for another purrrfect sleepover story…
