This week in the Rat Race Window, Stelios received a back massage from Sir Alan whilst Donald tried (and failed) to fit through a cardboard tube.

Richard became increasingly self-conscious about his wayward whiskers

and Duncan picked fights with everyone.

All the rats developed a love of fresh fruit whilst Ryan Fisher developed a fear of plastic toys.

As with the real London Underground system, the Central Line is busy and becomes congested from time to time. No matter how we attempt to clear them out, the rats seem intent on taking all their bedding into there and having a game of “all pile on”.

They seem very happy and content though and are enjoying their newfound celebrity status. They’re incredibly lively at the moment, attempting to escape at every opportunity

and like nothing more than licking human fingers.

Hope you’re all enjoying the Rat Race and that not too many of you have developed Zemmiphobia (a fear of rats).

Milk Teeth

This week kids, Mel and Anna show you how to make a big set of teeth

This is a step-by-step photo guide of how to make your very own massive set of gnashers. So, if you want a set of teeth big enough to make even Janet Street Porter green with envy then all you need is a few Cravendale bottles, pink card, a bit of trusty old double-sided-sticky tape and a pair of scissors (always get a grown up to help with your cutting).

NB Please do not pour milk down the sink excitedly in order to make your teeth. Patience is a virtue.

The teeth you see in the photos were, in fact part of the Cravendale Brand Book project and not some feeble attempt for Anna and Mel to become the new presenters of ‘Smart’.

Happy making…
