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.' The mum added: 'For under fiver you're basically crafting memories and saving your sanity. 'Cheap, easy, and actually kept my little one busy.' 8 The mum advised people stock up on the Asda themed jelly Credit: TikTok @hotglueandhiccups Her video has racked up 2,700 likes and many people were impressed with her idea.

Food bosses behind the new product say it's a playful way for children to engage with learning at the dinner table. The letter-shaped pasta encourages kids to form simple words and phrases, all while enjoying one of their favourite characters. Jill Leigh, marketing manager at Icefresh, said: 'The NHS advises that in the first five years of your child's life, their brain develops faster than at any other time, and you should make the most of every moment by making eye contact, chatting and engaging with what they're interested in. 'Everyday moments, like meals, playing and having fun, help your child to learn new words, put sentences together and practise having conversations. 'We are delighted to be launching these Peppa Pig learning pasta shapes to bring fun, story adventures, and most of all, tasty pasta to family mealtimes.' Sally Carnota from Hasbro, which owns the rights to Peppa Pig, added: 'Imagine the delight as children connect letter shapes and start to spell out their first words. "It's a natural, engaging and imaginative way to foster early literacy.' The new pasta joins a long line of Peppa-themed merchandise, from books to toys and even theme parks, all part of a billion-pound brand that shows no signs of slowing down. Parents will be able to spot the colourful Peppa Pig-branded packaging in the pasta aisle, and it's expected to become a household favourite among families with young children.

The launch also comes at a time of celebration in Peppa's world, as fans welcomed the birth of Mummy Pig's third baby on Good Morning Britain. Viewers were shown the first snap of the newborn piglet, named Evie, and were told she will make her debut in a brand-new episode, Peppa Meets The Baby, airing May 30. The new arrival has added even more excitement for fans, just as the pasta hits shelves. And with Peppa and George reportedly over the moon about their new sibling, the whole piggy family is celebrating, both on screen and in the kitchen.
