However, she added that this was when the 'real magic begins.' She explained: 'Instead of binning the mould like a normal person, I gave it a wash, dried it properly and I turned it into a Peppa-shaped plaster factory. 'It's giving Craft Queen on a mum budget.' The savvy mum shared how you need to buy a bag of plaster of Paris, which she got for £10 online - but they had smaller bags for £5. She continued: 'It lasts ages and the instructions are simple. 'Basically just mix with water and stir. 'Pour it into your moulds. 'They're ready to demould after about an hour, but leave them for 24 hours to go rock solid, especially if your kids are anything like mine and treat them like toys.' Once the Peppa-themed shape was dried, it was time to paint them and begin her family activity. Inside Peppa Pig World Hailing it the 'ultimate DIY toddler craft hack', she added: 'We used acrylics we already had stashed in the cupboard and got stuck in while counting down to the Peppa Pig movie. 'My toddler was in full artist mode. 'It's such a fun little activity, costs next to nothing and gives you something way more exciting than just another jelly pot honestly. 'Kept mine busy for ages and you can reuse the mould again and again. 'So if you got a Peppa obsessed toddler and need a cheap craft idea, grab the jelly, keep the mould and get pouring. 'DIY Mum life at its finest.' 8 She first gave the jelly to her kids to eat as normal Credit: TikTok @hotglueandhiccups 8 She then poured plaster of Paris into the cleaned-out moulds Credit: TikTok @hotglueandhiccups 8 When the plaster had set and dried, she was able to remove it from the mould Credit: TikTok @hotglueandhiccups 8 She gave it to her kids to paint - and it kept them occupied for ages Credit: TikTok @hotglueandhiccups 8 She raved about the cheap activity for her kids Credit: TikTok @hotglueandhiccups She added that you can even go in 'mum mode' and batch make a few for party bags, rainy days or when you need '10 minutes to drink brew while it's still hot.'

Peppa Pig legacy PEPPA Pig first aired in 2004 and has since been broadcast in 180 territories and translated into 40 languages. Now it's spawned books, toys and even two theme parks, with the global Peppa empire now worth over £1billion. Creators Neville Astley and Mark Baker admitted they were initially worried the idea would never get off the ground, and that people at first, were bored of the idea. Astley explained: "People in the pub would ask us, 'What are you drawing?' We'd say, 'A pig, called Peppa, it's going to be big'. 'They'd lose interest and wander off."
