Kids Bored? Try These Fun Baking Kits

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The coronavirus quarantine continues to wear on, and it’s hard to know when our lives will get back to some form of normal just yet. Being cooped up inside the house for an unknown duration of time is frustrating for children and adults alike. However, children get the shorter end of the stick, because they need more outside time and a range of activities to grow and develop.

Gainfully engaging kids bored at home (read: without excessive screen time) is something most parents struggle with. They easily run out of things to do when bored, and instead, start watching TV or playing with smartphones and tablets.

Cooking with children, and especially baking, is a useful way to pass the day and get the children excited about helping around the kitchen. After all, who wouldn’t want to participate in bringing delicious treats to life?

You can use our baking kits for kids to keep your children occupied while reducing the workload of baking for yourself and them. Check out some of our options and learn the tips and tricks to come out with a fun-filled session of bonding and delectable desserts each time.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Funfetti Muffins” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Kids love color and sprinkles in all their forms, so you can bank on your kids having the most fun baking delicious confetti muffins using our baking kits. Each kit comes with pre-measured dry ingredients, a shopping list for wet ingredients, an easy-to-follow recipe guide with pictures, and fun games and educational lessons to keep them occupied during oven time.

Remember that when you’re baking, getting the right quantities will determine the quality of the product you get in the end. However, younger children have not yet developed the measuring skills to be precise. Should this mean that they can’t bake – certainly not! There are many excellent lessons to be learned for children of any age – right from the time they can hold a spoon (2-3 years).

For each kid-friendly muffin kit, you can eliminate some of the hard work involved in baking – predominantly measuring – and also reduce the mess as a result. Remember to be careful when adding in the sprinkles to make these delightful muffins with sprinkles. The color can easily bleed out into the batter, creating a tie-and-dye finish in the final product (still okay if you like it).

Keep your children entertained and get eight muffins to share at the end of your baking session. Get a couple of kits for tweens to bake a batch to stay for afternoon tea or snacks. They are so easy tweens can handle them unsupervised (10 and above).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Bagels” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Imagine perfect, warm, chewy, or crispy and fresh bagels, coming straight from the oven and with endless filling or topping options – yum yum!
