Kids in the Kitchen

Here are some kitchen day ideas that won't break the budget, and will keep your kids and their friends amused for a morning or afternoon during these school holidays. Heck, if you're feeling brave, you might even manage to keep them amused all day!



Get them involved in making their own lunch
Be sure to cook something they are going to eat afterwards! Pizza is usually a safe choice. How about trying out these pizza pinwheels? Head to kidspot.com.au for some fantastic recipe ideas. They even have a recipe for play-dough.



Make your own play-dough
And once you've made it, why not pick a theme and get eveyone to make a character? From Pokemon, to dinosaurs, to mythical sea creatures - the possibilities are endless.



Don't forget the treats
Yes, we are suggesting baking cookies, and we know you're concerned about the amount of sugar your kids are consuming. So why not try coconut sugar? It can be used in almost any recipe where you would normally use white, refined sugar, and because it has a caramel-y taste, it's perfect for cookies and biscuits.

So why not have a kitchen day these school holidays at your place? We'd love to see some photos of the things you make!
