Benefits

In an attempt to keep the kids happy and quiet I’ve found we spend at least an hour a day in the kitchen. If its not baking its another form of messy play or splashing about with the sink.

At best baking with kids is a stimulating and diverting screen free activity which encourages sensory development and aids knowledge of cause and effect, increases curiosity and is an all round brilliant way to enhance cognitive skills.

At worst its a really messy way to enjoy something yummy- so its win win

Hobbit House cupcakes 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🌿☘🍀🍃🌻 With world book day around the corner I fancied a booky baking activity that my younger ones would get on board with. We've started reading The Hobbit at bedtime so it was a small jump to some hobbit house cupcakes! The doors are inspired by @my_irish_home recent fairy door cake (the tutorial is on her highlights currently) just strawberry laces and chocolate with a little chocolate bean! These are chocolate cupcakes topped with a slice of giant marshmallow, covered in green buttercream and the little Hobbit doors 😀 lots of fun for little ones and activity that can be spread out over a whole afternoon!

Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Buns 🍫🍞 Oooh I'm still trying to get to grips with the camera on my new phone 🤦‍♀️ Maybe if I'd been more patient and waited till the sun was fully up to get the photo I may have had more luck? 🤷‍♀️ After a long night with a toddler who still doesn't get the concept of sleep I wasn't waiting for breakfast though! 😴😴😴 These are the cinnamon rolls from the blog with the addition of 100g milk chocolate chips because why wouldn't you? Light a fluffy enriched dough with creamy butter, warming cinnamon and of course chocolate 😍 Link in bio 👆

Jaffa Cake Brownies 🍊🍫🍊🍫🍊🍫 Ahh the aforementioned brownies. I couldn't get a decent photo and I feel like this is now an optical illusion of messy brownies 🤷‍♀️ Nonetheless we had a lot of fun making these delicious and rich chocolate brownies. With lots if jaffa cake minis baked right in there. Recipe is the 'Chuck anything in Chocolate brownies' from the blog. Link in bio 😀 Disclaimer- 15 minutes after making these my 2 year old squeezed all our toothpaste down the sink- possible sugar madness or just general toddler-ness. Best keep an eye either way 🤦‍♀️

Extremely hygienic brownies from extremely honest kids...🤣🤦‍♀️🤣🤦‍♀️🍫

Welsh Cakes ❤💗🧡💗 Forgotten to get a valentine's gift? Yeah me too 🤦‍♀️ I'll be buttering up my English husband with a batch of Welsh Cakes instead. A perfect kids cooking activity and you don't even need an oven! Recipe is in the usual place 😀👆👆👆

Super Messy S'mores 🍫🍪🍫 I've got a shiny new phone and I can't for the life of me figure out how to use it! Hopefully I'll get the camera sussed in the next few days but in the meantime here's some low quality photos of our messy S'mores! We made a batch of basic biscuits (recipe via link in bio) but after removing from the oven, topped each with a marshmallow and put back into the oven (after we shut the heat off) to melt the marshmallow on. We then smothered in melted chocolate and sandwiched together! More dessert than biscuits these have really cheered up our Monday 😀
