The holidays are an amazing season to engage with your kids in the kitchen. Once they’re out of school, let them help you out! You’ll find an opportunity to teach them about baking, flavors, and more. Plus, it’s wonderful bonding time with the children you love.
Here are 5 holiday recipes for kids that will get them excited about creating in the kitchen.
Baking Christmas cookies to share will create lifelong memories for you and your little ones. These Easy Ginger Christmas Cookies take less than an hour to make and are the perfect treat to leave out for Santa.
Essentially, this dessert is a decorated Rice Krispies treat which means two things: ultimate simplicity and engagement for the little ones for hours. You just throw together rice cereal and marshmallows and layout loads of candies for garnish options. Pretzels sticks, tic tacs, and gumdrops are perfect little arms, eyes, and buttons!
These peanut butter licorice a huge hit amongst kids — and thrilling to bite into. Just bake your favorite peanut butter cookie recipe into a teardrop shape and decorate with licorice tail, peanut ears, M&M eyes, and a chocolate chip nose. They’re absolutely adorable and totally tasty!
Somehow, someway, we have to feed our kids real food amidst all the treats of the holiday season. Get them excited about dinner with these amazing pizza stockings! Use a stocking cutter to create the right shape with your dough. Then, top according to your desire (veggies pizza is a great way to sneak nutrients in!).
This sweet and salty treat is a tasty combo of popcorn, chocolate, nuts, and (of course) sugar. Simple and fun, it’s a great thing to make with your kids in preparation for the holidays. Lay it out Christmas eve for the reindeer to eat alongside Santa’s milk and cookies and watch their faces light up!
Speaking of reindeer noses, these treats are actually just fudge balls, dipped in coconut and dropped with a candied cherry. They’re a little more involved to make than some other recipes, so you might want to handle most of the cooking. However, your kids can help place the noses and create eye-catching fun!
