5 things to draw when you're bored

 Let's say you decided to draw. You get out your paper, pencil, gel pens or whatever you like to draw with. You sit down and say, "Right what am I going to draw?" One hour later... "What am I going to draw!!!!!!?????" But now you'll know exactly what to draw. For a while...

1. Unicorns 

You might think unicorns are quite hard to draw (well, realistic ones are) but actually they are quite easy once you've drawn a lot of them. I find unicorns quite easy. Maybe it's because I've drawn them so many times or watched lots of "How to draw a unicorn" videos. Whatever the case I recommend trying it. 

2. Inspiring Messages 

What you can do is write a famous quote on a piece of paper or you notebook or whatever you want to write in. Make sure to write it big and bold so that it stands out. Next, you decorate around it and on the words. Finally, admire it and give yourself a pat on the back. 

3. Invent your own animal 

Inventing your own animal is quite simple. There is an animal called a liger which is actually a lion mixed with a tiger (it is a real animal. If you don't believe me google it!). My favourite one that I made is called the duckliraffe. Its a duck, lion and giraffe mixed together. You can imagine what that looks like! Here's an example of what I would call a... Sharkaroo? 

4. 3D pictures

You are probably like, "Oh my goodness 3D Pictures!? That's a bit extreme!". 3D pictures look hard but actually, if you learn the steps, its not that hard. I once tried to draw a 3D triangle thing and actually the lady shaded in most of the parts so it wasn't that difficult. I think you should definitely try draw it. 

5. Create your own land 

I think creating a land is quite simple. I like coming up with names for my like Zoë Town or something like that. Next, you add houses, restaurants or whatever you want in your land. You can also add a description at the back of the page if you want. Remember to add lots of colour too! 

I hope you like these ideas and remember if you fail the first time practice, practice, practice!

Top 5 Best Movies

Don't you just love curling up in a blanket on your couch right in front of the TV? Then suddenly, a thought hits you! What are you going to watch!!! But now thanks to this blog you're reading right now that will never happen again! These movies are for children aged between 6-12. Or for grown-ups who just like kiddies movies.

The Queen's Corgi is about a dog called Rex who is the Queen's top dog.

I rate this movie a 9.5 out of 10 on the Radness Scale and would recommend it to people who love dogs and action. 

2. Spies in Disguise

Spies in Disguise is about a secret agent called Lance Sterling

and his companion called Walter Beckett. Walter accidently turns Lance into a pigeon and he has to help Lance stop a bad guy they call Robohand because, well, he has a robot hand. This is a really cool movie and I rate it a 10 out of 10 on the Radness Scale and recommend it to people who like comedy and mischief. 

3. Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog is one of my favourite movies. It is about a hedgehog that lived in a land but it got destroyed. Sonic then has to use his rings to go to earth. A bad guy called Dr. Robotnik (another robot name!) wants to catch him. Sonic meets a guy called Tom (also known as the Donut Lord) and together they stop the Doctor. I really loved Sonic and people who like comedy and adventure will love this. I rate it a 10 out of 10 on the Radness Scale. 

4. Uglydolls

Uglydolls is about a doll called Moxy and her friends. They live in Uglyville and Moxy has always wanted to know what its like in the real world. Together, Moxy and her friends find out lots of things while Lou, the best doll in the Institute of Perfection, tries to stop her. I quite enjoyed this movie and I think most people would love it. I rate it a 9 out of 10 on the Radness Scale. 

5. Scoob!

Scoob! is a movie about, you guessed it, Scooby Doo. Scooby and his owner named Shaggy are part of a team that hunts ghosts. Then a villain called Dick Dastardly tries to steal Scooby to unleash the ghost dog Cerberus upon the world. Scooby and Shaggy get taken by a kind of superhero called The Falcon Fury or Brian. Together they all defeat the evil villain and I think people who like adventure and action would enjoy this. I rate it a 8.5 out of 10 on the Radness Scale. 

I hope you will check out all these movies and see what you think!

The Best Gifts to buy (for 7-11 years)

Do you ever have no idea what to buy for someone's birthday? That always happens to me too! So since that usually happens to everyone, here are some ideas (mostly things to buy for kids).  

1. Giotto Kokis

Giotto is a brand that makes cool kokis and they can do all sorts of things. In one of the packs you can draw on T shirts, shoes and more. I think this is a brilliant gift for someone who is artistic and I would highly recommend it. 

2. Yokico Book Safe 

This is a good present for someone who likes to store stuff in a special place. It looks like a book when you see it but when you open it you will see a safe and inside there are keys. This is an awesome gift for storing special treasures and I'm sure most kids would really love one of these. 

3. Minecraft Annual 2020

If you know someone who really likes Minecraft (video game) then this is the book for them. It tells you all about Minecraft for the next year and it is also a really fun activity book. If you were to buy one now for someone, you would have to buy the 2021 book.

4. Lego City

I'm sure everyone loves to play with Lego. This present would be for someone you likes building things. There are so many things that you can build in Lego city. I really enjoyed building a pizza van. I think that everyone would enjoy building Lego, not just people that like building things.

5. Top Trumps

Top Trumps is a very fun card game and has nothing got to do with Donald Trump. You get lots of different topics like Predators, Snakes, Superheroes and more! I recommend it to people that like playing card games. 

I hope this was helpful and you'll buy these gifts for your friends.

Facts about the Big Five

I'm sure we all love going to game reserves right? Whenever I go to the Kruger Park there is something I always want to see. You guessed it, The Big Five. So since I love the Big Five so much here are some facts about them. 

1. Lion 

One of my favourite animals, the lion can weigh up to 250kgs! They live in groups called prides and they are believed to have the loudest roar amongst the big cats. I think these animals are very cool so I rate them a 9.5 out of 10 on the Radness Scale. 

2. Elephant 

The African bush elephant can live up to 60 - 70 years and they weigh 6000kgs!!! Their tusks are actually teeth, and calves can stand within 20 minutes of birth. How amazing is that? Their speed is 40km/h and you can tell the African and Asian apart by their ears. Isn't that cool? I rate the elephant a 10 out of 10 on the Radness Scale.

3. Buffalo 

True buffalo only live in Asia and Africa. They are considered an adult when they are only 3 years old! They can live to be 30 years old (I wouldn't really like it if I only lived till I was 30) and they weigh 590kgs as an adult. That's very heavy! I rate the buffalo a 9 out of 10 on the Radness Scale.

4. Rhinoceros 

My favourite animal, the white rhino can live up to 40 - 50 years and they live in groups called a crash. Their speed is 50km/h and they weigh 2300kgs! Did you know that their horn is made from the same stuff as our fingernails? And remember to help save the rhino! I rate them a 10 out of 10 on the Radness Scale. 

5. Leopard 

The leopard can run up to 58km/h and live up to 12 -17 years. Most leopards are light coloured and have dark spots (called rosettes) on their fur. The males weigh 31kgs while the females weigh 23 - 27kgs. They are very strong swimmers and I rate them a 9.5 out of 10 on the Radness Scale.

I hope you enjoyed learning some fun facts about the Big five. 

Top 5 best Ice cream flavours

 Does it ever happen to you when you want to get an ice cream, but you never know what flavour to get? That usually happens to me too. So since that happens I have decided to review The Creamery's top 5 ice cream flavours (If you didn't know, The Creamery is my favourite ice cream place, I highly recommend it). 

1. Cookie Dough 

It may sound simple and boring but Cookie Dough has been my all time favourite flavour since forever! They always put a lot of cookie crumbs in it and whenever I get it I always get a big chunk of cookies! I rate it a 9.5 out of 10 on the Radness Scale. 

2. Malted Milk

This also sounds like another boring flavour but malted milk is actually quite a yummy flavour. I think its very creamy tasting. But it's quite weird that even if I take the tiniest of bites I always get brain freeze! This doesn't usually happen to me with other flavours, but I rate this flavour a 9 out of 10 on the Radness Scale 

3. Woodstocky Road 

It only became my favourite flavour recently but it just tasted so amazing!!! My favourite thing about it is that it has melted marshmallows inside! My taste buds almost exploded it was so yummy! And the chocolate ice cream was very nice. The one thing I couldn't understand is that I think they put milo or coffee granules inside. But still I rate it 10 out of 10 on the Radness Scale.

4. Milk Tart 

I think Milk Tart was a very yummy flavour, the only thing they could have added more milk tartyness in it. There were milk tart crust bits in it, which is delicious. And it had vanilla ice cream in which was nice. But yes, they definitely could have added more milk tart in. I rate it a 8.5 on the Radness Scale. 

5. Millionaire Shortbread

This flavour was so delicious (just as it sounds) because it had chocolate and caramel in, it had the shortbread taste, it was just so amazingly yummy!!!! I also really loved the look of it. This flavour was so good I don't think I have anything bad to say about it! I rate it a 10 out of 10 on the Radness Scale. 

I hope this review was helpful and if you haven't had a Creamery ice cream go check them out immediately!

Top 5 Best Books

Ever have no idea what to read? Or you're always looking around for something to do? Same as me. Since I love to read I have decided to review the top 5 best books in my opinion. I would recommend them for ages 9-12 years old.

1. The Last Kids On Earth Series

These books are by Max Brallier and illustrated by Douglas Holgate. Its about a monster apocalypse where Jack Sullivan fights monsters with his best friends June, Dirk and Quint. They find monster friends along the way too. I give it a 9.5 out of 10 on the Radness Scale and would recommend it to monster fans.

2. The Faraway Tree Series 

The Faraway Tree series books are called The Enchanted Wood, The Faraway Tree and The Folk of the Faraway Tree and its all by Enid Blyton. Its about 3 children who find a magical tree that always has a land at the top. The children meet people that live in the tree and together they have a lot of adventures together. I would recommend it to fantasy and adventure fans. I rate it a 10 out of 10 on the Radness Scale. 

3. Ungifted 

Ungifted was written by Gordon Korman and is about a boy that accidently gets moved into a gifted school with smart people. Except he isn't smart! This book was a wild ride and I really enjoyed it. I rate it a 8.5 out of 10 on the Radness Scale and would recommend it to people who love mischief.

 

4. The Treehouse Books

The first book in the treehouse is called The 13 Storey Treehouse and there is a whole lot more. Its about 2 friends that live in a treehouse that they built. They always have an adventure and then write a book about it and have to send it to their publisher, Mr Big Nose. These books were written by Andy Griffiths and would recommend it to adventurers. I rate it 8 out of 10 on the Radness Scale. 

5. Roald Dahl Books 

I'm sure we all know Roald Dahl. My favourite books that he wrote are The BFG, Charlie and the chocolate factory and The Witches. They are all so exciting and I love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Its always makes me so hungry! I rate all his books I mentioned a 10 out of 10 on the Radness Scale. 

I hope you found this review helpful and go check these books out for yourself and see what you think! 

Top 5 Babyccino Restaurants

Do you always get dragged into coffee shops because your parents want a latte? That's me, I've been dragged to coffee shops since I was about 2 years old. And do you know what I always get at the coffee shop? That's right I always get babyccinos. So I have decided to write a review about the top 5 best restaurants in my opinion (these are all in Western Cape)

1. Betty Blue Bistro 

Betty Blue bistro is in Hermanus and I love their babyccinos. They have got the right amount of foam and milk because in a babyccino you don't want it to be full of milk and no foam or fill of foam and no milk. They put exactly the right amount of chocolate on the foam but the real reason I love it is because they put.... Marshmallows on top!!!! Yummy! I give it a 10 out of 10 on the Radness Scale.

2. Mugg & Bean 

There are Mugg & Beans everywhere in the Western Cape but my favourite cafe is at Blue Route Mall. I think they might have overdone the milk a bit but they definitely put the right amount of chocolate in. I always say you can never have to much chocolate! I give them a 9.5 out of 10 on the Radness Scale.

3. Bootleggers

I love so many Bootleggers but my favourite has to go to the one in Muizenberg. It might not have enough milk but in my opinion they definitely put the right amount of chocolate. My saying is that you can never have too much chocolate! I give them a 7.5 out of 10 on the Radness Scale.

4. Vida e Caffe

How could we forget about Vida?? I love Vida because of all the friendly staff that greet you. My favourite place to get a Vida babyccino is in Muizenberg. Its in a normal cup and wow they put a lot of chocolate in it! But what always happens to me is the chocolate sinks to the bottom and when I'm done I spend 5 minutes trying to lick the chocolate out. Other than that I think the babyccinos there are awesome. I give them an 8 out of 10 on the Radness Scale.

5. Martins

And the last one is Martins in Diep River. I think they put the right amount of milk and the right amount of chocolate. Its the foam that's too much and who pays R20 for a babyccino!! This is currently my least favourite place. I rate them 6 out of 10 on the Radness Scale.

I hope this review was helpful and try check out these restaurants and see what you think!
