“I’m bored! What’s there to do?” Recognize these holiday complaints from kids? Usually parents are able to muster up a few suggestions, but often these ideas are quickly discarded by little ones. As school recesses for the winter holiday break, parents are scrambling for creative activities to occupy a child. One suggestion surely to be greeted with eagerness is baking. To make the baking with children as easy as pie, follow these tips.
• Let older children (8-12) select and bake a special, yet simple, holiday treat. Stick to recipes that have limited ingredients (four — seven) and few steps (no more than eight). Discuss the recipe directions step by step. Then, allow them to make the tasty delight on their own, but be available to answer any questions.
• Whenever possible, use premeasured ingredients.
• Before frosting cookies, blanket the kitchen table with waxed paper and surrounding floor area with newspapers for easy clean-up.
• Pour decorating sugars, raisins, nuts and candies into empty margarine containers that little fingers can handle easily.
• Fill a zip-top plastic bag with frosting and snip off the end for a quick, disposable Dastrv bae.
