  • Mouthwatering Mathematics: making maths fun can sometimes be a challenge. But baking is a groundbreaking way to get hands-on and have fun with numbers. Measure out ingredients, explore grams and millilitres, and watch your mixture multiply into magnificent morsels.

 

  • From Numbers to Nutrition: Investigate ingredients and create conversations around nutrition, healthy eating and where foods come from. Help little ones form healthful habits and encourage them to try new things.

 

  • Watch Self Confidence Soar: Baking boosts cognitive function by encouraging kids to engage their creativity, problem-solving skills and knowledge to enjoy sumptuous success. As these abilities grow, so does self-confidence!

 

  • Hungry Tummies Bring Us Together: This time of year pace of life picks up, and suddenly we are busier than we have ever been! But baking keeps us bonded and is a great way to spend quality time with the kids and make multiple merry memories.
