Don't waste money buying expensive pet blankets and bedding from pet shops. Baby blankets and bedding items from charity shops serve the purpose equally well and cost a lot less.Hilary Burfoot, Berkshire. Tip from Woman's Weekly

When it's all going pear shaped, rebalance yourself with a move that's a bit yoga-ish. Sit comfortably; inhale for the count of 3, exhale for a count of 6, until you feel calm. You'll find you can't breathe and count and hold on to stressful thoughts!Woman Magazine

Fancy a weekend lie in? Now that my kids are old enough to tell the time, I tell them they'll get a prize if they manage to stay in bed until the clock says seven. While they're asleep, I change the clock to run an hour slow. A bit naughty, but it's worth it!Ellie Jones, Newcastle. Tip from Woman Magazine

When I'm helping my son to read a new book from school, I write a list of the words he struggles on. We go through the list separately and tick off every word he gets right. He is then able to relate the word to the book and by the following week he reads the words perfectly.

Re-use the small string bags that come with washing tablets. They're ideal for storing hair bobbles, nail varnish and make-up. They're also good for children's small toys like marbles and conkers.Amanda Evans, North Yorkshire. Tip from Woman's Weekly

How to make an Easter bonnet
You will need:White A4 thin card (or paper)
A colour printer
Scissors
A glue stick
Instructions
1. Download and print out both Easter bunny mask templates below, using thin, white A4 card (you can use normal white paper but the mask won't be as sturdy).
Click on the links below to open the templates.
You must save the template to your computer first, and then open up the file so that it will print at the right size:
Easter bunny template 1
Easter bunny template 2
Don't worry if you haven't got a colour printer, the kids can colour in the ears, nose and eyes using whatever colours they like.
2. Cut out all of the printed shapes.
3. Stick the three thick, grey strips together to make one long strip for the headband.
4. Measure the headband around your child's head.
5. Join the ends together and trim off any excess card.
6. Now get your kids to stick the rest of the Easter bunny's features to the headband using the picture above.
7. It's probably easiest for them to start with the bridge of the nose (Part A) so that they can line up the eyes and the ears (parts C & D) either side of it.
8. You might also need to trim the bridge of the nose (part A) so that the end is in line with your child's nose, before sticking on the bunny's nose (Part B).
In less than fifteen minutes you'll have your own herd of bunnies hopping around your warren... they might even eat some carrots if you're lucky!
And if you do get them dressed up for Easter we'd love to hear from you and see your photographs, so send us a message!
