Brrr! You may think that the Arctic is a freezing cold, lonely and barren place, with nothing more than snow and ice for miles on end. But with our ideas you can use it as the setting for a Finger Tips Polar Adventure Party! It's a cool (groan!) idea, isn't it? Go mad by decorating the room with paper icicles. They're just semicircles of card of paper curled into a cone and dipped in clear white glitter for a frosty look, hung from a string or from pictures or shelves on the wall! How about these arctic snowflakes? They're made from white paper, folded and snipped into shape, covered with clear glitter. And strips of white and silver crepe paper twisted look great decorating the walls of a room. For food, serve up fish fingers and chips! A staple diet for any arctic explorer! Or why not make a sugar cube igloo filled with yummy ice cream? And these are frostbites - marshmallows dipped in melted chocolate and rolled in coconut. Delicious! And for a cake idea, how about this arctic scene? It's just an ordinary sponge cake covered with arctic icing that looks like snow. Finger Tips would like to thank Renshaw Scott for supplying the sugar paste used in decorating the cakes. Outfit-wise, get your mates to dress in all white clothes for an icy, snowy effect! For a game, how about Penguin Skittles? It's great fun to play and very easy to make The idea is to roll a snowball at the penguins, trying to knock over as many as you can. If you want to make the game, you'll need to collect six empty flavoured milk bottles. This shape is just perfect, but any small plastic bottles will do. Wash each bottle out, then fill them all a third of the way up with sand, to make them bottom heavy. For the penguin's beak, wrap a ping pong ball in a sheet of tabloid newspaper. Scrunch it round like this and stick some tape around the base of the ball, like this. Snip off the rest of the newspaper and then stick the beak onto the top of the bottle like this! The wings are made from cardboard box card. Take a plastic bottle top and draw around it twice to leave a shape that looks like this. Use this shape as a guideline to make the wing shape, like this. Make two of them for each penguin, and then cut them out. The card feet are made in a similar way. Draw the two circles and then make up a foot shape like the one you can see opposite. Make two for each penguin. Stick the wings and feet to the body of each penguin. When you're happy with the position of the feet and wings, you can add some eyes. For these, just scrunch up some sticky tape and stick into position. Cover each penguin in a layer of paper maché. Paper maché is just strips of newspaper pasted on with a mixture of PVA glue and water in equal parts. You could paint straight onto each penguin if you like, but paper maché gives it a nice texture. But if you do paint straight on, use acrylic paint or poster paint mixed with some PVA glue. Look at pictures of penguins in wildlife magazines, books or on the internet, to get them looking realistic. When they're done, they should look like this! To enable you to score the game, cut out six egg shapes and stick one on the base of each penguin. Add numbers to each so that when they're knocked over, you can keep score. The person with the highest score wins. Finally, you can use any ball you like, but a white one looks more like a snowball and is perfect!
