What can you do about the older child bullying the younger one?

My dds are 8 and 5, I cant really moan about them that much as they are generally really good kids. However dd1 is constantly getting at dd2 in a subtle way, your paintings are crap, you cant do that quickly etc etc and she shoves past her on the stairs like dd2 has got no right being first doing anything and it pisses me off.
We were just running home from the shops after making a special trip to go and get some Harry Potter Stickers. DD2 was in front and DD1 ran past her at speed and knocked into her,on purpose, its a miracle DD2 didnt skid ontoher face. It was at high speed and her hands and face would have been knackered.
DD1 is now in bed stickerless while DD2 is busy putting her stickers in.
I hate DD1s behaviour, DD2s self confidence is suffering because of her sister. What do I do now?

think this is a normal stage of growing up! Just keep reminder the older one she is older and when she was younger she couldnt do things as easily. Ask her to show little dd how to do things. Make her feel grown up!
