Activities for bonfire night at home

As we will all be staying home this bonfire night, we wanted to find a few fun activities to do with your household or over a zoom call with your friends and family.

Make treats!

Make some fun foods inspired by bonfire night from pinwheel pizzas with a tasty desert of smores or toffee apples to get in the true bonfire spirit!

Start by layering some chocolate spread over a biscuit and topping with a marshmallow, place under the grill for 2 minutes to soften and slightly melt the marshmallow. Top with another biscuit to make a sandwich and tuck in!

Firework painting!

Using paper or a canvas, paint and brushes, challenge your family and friends to paint the best firework painting! This can be lifelike or abstract but use your creativity to see what you paint.
