    Daisy Cookies

    I love simple recipes to make with the kids - bonus points if they look cute too! These Daisy Cookies are the best combination: only a few ingredients that you'll definitely have on hand, and easy enough to make that the kids will love joining in.

    Tallowwood Park, Upper Coomera

    What a great park Tallowwood Park is for the little kids! With a large open green space dotted with shady trees, a beautiful lake with ducks, a small but adrenalin-packed bike track and a fenced playground - there really isn't more that you could ask for here!

    Easter Egg Rocky Road

    If your kids are anything like mine, they don't actually like to eat their Easter eggs. Gathering and counting, yep. Eating, nope. Last year I turned to the old trick of using up Easter eggs to make rocky road, and boy oh boy was it a good decision! The monotony of egg after egg is broken up by bites of flavoursome goodness.

  • Playgrounds

    Codrington Park, Pacific Pines

    Aimed at older kids (although catering for toddlers too), this playground is designed for climbing, with nets, bridges, posts and walls that will keep the ninja warriors occupied. Don't miss the flying fox too! Little ones can explore the pirate ship, bridges and sand play fort.

  • Playgrounds

    Parklake Park, Maudsland

    Parklake Park at Maudsland can't be seen from the street, and so many people are surprised once they make their way down to it at how big the playground is! This playground caters well to kids of all ages, with two separate play structures and lots much more to discover. Set under lots of shady trees, plus a few shade cloth structures, you'll find a mega slide, toddler playground, flying fox, swings, huge sandpit and lots of imaginative play elements.

    Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Caves

    The Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm caves are a great opportunity for the family to get up close and personal with thousands of tiny little glow worms! Usually only seen at night, their purpose built sanctuary on Tamborine Mountain means you can support glow worm conservation and see them during day light hours.
