Here is the final installment in our special series featuring activities for toddlers. We’ve already covered sensory play, maths games, art and craft, reading, writing and song, and outdoor play, science and active games and today our last edition is all about cooking. Can toddlers cook? You bet they can! It might get just a little messy, but it’s great fun and packed with opportunity for learning. Here are some simple recipes, all tried and tested with my own kids.
What’s Easter without bunnies and chocolate? This Easter bunny lollipop recipe combines both and is great kids Easter recipe.
Here’s my favourite, easy recipe for pancakes, English style, with lots of ideas for adding math and literacy activities as you cook.
As we still haven’t been blessed with any snow yet, we decided we would bake a snowman instead. This is a great cake recipe for kids to try. It’s only got three ingredients, it’s a really easy recipe to make and it tastes scrummy yummy. Here’s how to make crispy cake snowmen.
It’s been raining non-stop for two days here. Time to switch on the fairy lights in the kitchen, pull out our favourite gingerbread recipe and enjoy some cosy autumn baking :: we’re making fall leaf cookies!
One week to go until I need to make 10 school lunch bags each and every week – time to put my easy cookie recipe into action.
I like the girls to have a healthy lunch at school, which is usually a sandwich, salad and fruit combo, and I’m happy for that to include a homemade slice of cake or biscuit. This easy cookie recipe lets me prepare lots of puddings in advance, which I then wrap and put in the freezer, ready to take out and pop into the lunch bags each day.
This cookie recipe is a favourite because it’s quick, easy (so the children can join in), you can make several varieties at once – oh, and they’re yummy. Here’s how to make them.
