It’s cold out and the children are querulous and hungry. Why not warm up their hearts and the house with these child-friendly baking recipes adapted from the Victoria’s Healthy Eating Advisory Service these winter hols?
Cooking activities are a great way to introduce children to new things and help foster a love of nutritious foods. It can also help their development by combining gross and fine motor movement, and practicing concentrating and following directions
Pumpkin scones are a truly sweet and delicious alternative to regular scones, and they always remind me of holidays with my nan, who used leftover pumpkin from the night before’s roast dinner. When they came out of the oven we would devour them smothered with lots of butter.
