• The summer holidays are fun but for parents sometimes the thought of keeping the kids constantly entertained can become a challenge. 

    There comes the point for many parents where their kids stop the endearing games and trade them in for something a little more destructive or dangerous. It’s usually not because they are naughty – often it’s just boredom.

    To help keep your little ones stimulated, here are some recipes that will not only fill hours with the cooking and baking, but also fill tummies. Having them help out in the kitchen while you’re preparing meals can be a fun way for the family to bond, create memories, and even build some necessary skills. From stirring batter to decorating cupcakes, the kitchen can be a creative space for little hands to explore and learn.

    Whether you’re looking for weekend fun, a creative way to keep them busy, or a chance to spark their interest in food, these easy-to-make recipes are perfect for kids to join in on the action.
