Come and See the Florasaurus - coming to Westfield and intu Trafford Centre this Easter

Flora’s new  “Powered by Plants”  campaign has seen the launch of a new dairy-free spread – Flora Freedom - which harnesses the natural goodness of plant based ingredients such as rapeseed, sunflower and linseed oils.  This healthy alternative to butter is perfect for those with allergies and for those who choose to eat Free From alternatives.

The campaign mascot Florasaurus, is a massive, green plant-eating dinosaur and it will be visiting Westfield Stratford City and intu Trafford Centre, Manchester over the Easter Holidays to help re-engage kids with where their food comes from. This campaign from Flora demonstrates how many of the world’s biggest and most magnificent creatures were powered by plants. As a vegetarian family, we love this message!

The free interactive experience will include photos opportunities with the Florasaurus, competitions and activities created in conjunction with the Eden Project. The display will be available during the shopping centres' opening hours giving families plenty of opportunity to come and enjoy the experience during the school holidays.

Florasurus will be at:

Westfield Stratford, London:

Friday 25th March 2016 – Monday 4th April 2016 (excluding Easter Sunday 27th March)

Trafford Centre, Manchester:

Thursday 7th April 2016 – Sunday 10th April 2016

Cracking Easter Bargains with Poundworld

Poundworld is one of the UK's leading single priced retailers, selling everything for just £1.  With over 120 stores nationwide, there's sure to be one near you, which is great news as they have some amazing Easter bargains going "cheep"!

We were sent a brilliant bag filled with Easter goodies and I was really impressed with the quality and range.

Whether you are looking for traditional chocolate eggs, arts and crafts sets to keep the kids busy or fun novelty Easter gifts you will find everything you could wish for, all for the bargain price of just a pound.

We loved the fancy straw hat and the Easter bonnet decorating kit, both £1 each.  The cute straw style hat is the perfect size for little heads.  The ribbon trim detail is very pretty.  You can add your own personal touch to it to create an Easter bonnet using the decorating kit which contains embellishments, ribbon and bits and bobs.  A fun activity for children to do over Easter.

The Make Your Own Easter Cards Kit has everything you need to make six cards to give to family and friends.  The cute toppers are really lovely.  The Easter Poster Art Set comes with a palette of paints, a brush and a pre-printed canvas so your children can create their very own Easter themed works of art.  The Easter Egg Hunt set comes with cardboard baskets to collect goodies.  A real fun traditional Easter activity!

The Easter Eggs feature a whole host of lovable characters that kids will love from Peppa Pig to Disney Princesses.  You can buy four eggs for just £3. The kids will love them.

Or how about this cute foil wrapped chocolate Easter bunny?  Kids will love to find him on Easter Sunday.  

Your little ones can dress up as an Easter Bunny themselves with these fluffy and fun bunny ears.  They are available in pink or yellow.  They are so cute.

Easter is not complete without Easter chicks!  This collection of fluffy, yellow chicks make perfect decorations, cake toppers or can be used in an egg hunt.  Going 'cheep' at just £1 for a dozen.

With so many lovely things you'll be able to throw a fabulous Easter party or simply give the kids an Easter filled with fun activities, without spending a fortune.  My children love spending the long Easter weekend doing arts and crafts, taking part in Easter Egg hunts and munching on chocolate treats.  With our Poundworld goodies they will have an amazing time.
