So anyways, Social Moms has teamed up with Clorox and I am going to be giving some hints as far as what we do to make family time fun with arts, crafts and food. You didn't know they could be mixed did you? Well, they sure can and boy can it get fun!!
One of our favorite things when we were young was making pancakes into different shapes. Ever used cookie cutters to make snowman pancakes? We used all types of cookie cutters. So this has turned into something we do quite a bit. Especially on a Saturday morning it is good to get the kids up and into the kitchen helping. And what better way to do it than to make it fun! Children love playing with food so give them that chance by making shapes with their food.
Another fun thing we have done is the recipe below. This comes out very good and children love being able to make their own characters. And they don't even realize they are making a healthy snack at the same time! There is no set recipe for this but the basic instructions are below. Let each child personalize their own cup as they would like.
Ingredients
Vanilla Pudding
Decorations: cereal, grapes, blueberries, orange slices, strawberries, kiwifruit, gumdrops, food coloring,
Preparation
Spoon Vanilla Pudding into a serving bowl, and use decorations to create fun faces.This only takes about 5 minutes to make and serves four people. I like to get the big container of vanilla pudding and use it for several mornings or for snacks too.
So, how do you have fun in the kitchen with your children? Leave a comment below and let me know. I love to hear from my readers! And please make sure to run over to the Clorox Recipes for Fun site and enter your own recipe!
