Don't know what to do with the kids over the holidays? One thing that children love is cooking, it can also work to your advantage. Get the kids into the kitchen with you, it keeps them entertained and they can give you a hand at the same time. It is also a great way to teach children about food and healthy eating. If they get to know the different ingredients and learn how to use them and create a meal you can all sit down and eat together, gives them a great sense of achievement and is also very educational.
Depending on their ages you can do anything from cookies and cakes to a whole lunch or dinner!
Cookies are great for getting the feel of the dough. You can do fairy cakes and get them to decorate them with different colored icing. Easy savory food goes from cheese straws to Shepherd's Pie. Get them making their own pizzas or fancy sandwiches.
It's also a good idea to get them to clean up too! That way they can learn to do the washing up and put things away as they go, always a good help for you too!
