Your February 2017 printable calendar is packed with dinner ideas, fun activities and meaningful ways to connect with family and friends. We’ve also included the daily prompts for the #365Mumtastic Instagram Community. Too easy!

Featured Dinner Ideas

Broccoli and Bacon Salad: A delicious warm weather dinner that works as a main or a side.

Chicken and Bacon Meatloaf: You’ll have leftover bacon after making the broccoli salad and this recipe is the perfect way to use it up.

Black Bean Quinoa Stuffed Zucchini: A vegetarian hit at my place, you can substitute kidney beans if you can’t get your hands on black beans.

Oven Baked Thai Chicken Meatballs: Add a rice, corn and capsicum salad and leftovers from this dinner can go straight into the lunch box.

Tuna and Herb Pasta: Most kids will eat tuna so it’s always good to have a few new recipes up your sleeve.

One Tray Lamb Bake: Add whatever veggies you have on hand to this one tray wonder dish.

Greek-Style Vegetable Stirfry: Merge cultures with a stir fry featuring traditional Greek flavours. It’s goooood.

Treats

Blueberry French Toast Roll Ups: These have got to be the perfect afternoon snack.

Homemade Snickers Bars: There’s only one word to describe these: decadent. They are even better than the ‘real thing’.

Honey Butter Popcorn: Put a tasty spin on a traditional favourite. I bought a popcorn popper from Target for $9 a couple of weeks ago.

1 Cup Apple Pancakes: These could not be easier to make. You can make them for breakfast, lunch boxes or afternoon tea.

Activities for the Kids

The Super-Simple Colours Game: Add some extra fun to your next playground visit.

Make Some Edible Paint: So much fun for painting the breakfast toast before eating.

Cereal Box Jet Packs: Up, up and away with this super cheap and cheerful craft idea.

DIY Felt Faces: Hours of play with a few simple pieces.

Drawing Prompts for Inspiration

Use the Instagram #365Mumtastic daily prompts as inspiration for your child’s drawings: “What can I draw, Mum?” Try giving them the daily prompt – then take a photo of their creation for the Instagram community to see!

Ways to Connect

Bush Walking: Taking the kids into the bush is so beneficial. We’ll show you how to do it safely and stress free.

Full Moon Walk: Add a little extra to your bush walk by taking it during a full moon.

Family Sleepover: It’s fun when one of the kids’ friends comes to sleepover, but even more fun when everyone has a friend to sleepover at the same time…

Special Sunday Breakfast: Make some extra-yummy breakfast treats and enjoy a leisurely brunch outside together.
