Creative Play Challenge Day 5: Bake Something (Real OR Pretend)!

[Cafe Kelly]

Kids LOVE baking and devouring their concoctions! Today, pick something to bake with your child (and don't be afraid to make a little bit of a mess!) If your child is too young to assist in the kitchen, play with pretend cupcakes or cookies, or decorate paper "cookies" with crayons and stickers.

Share with us the delicious treats you made today in the comments below.

Here are five tips for making your baking adventures special with your kids this holiday season.

If you missed yesterday's activity, you can find it here. If you haven't signed up for the Creative Play Every Day Challenge yet, you can do so here!

 We bake together often. Today we made artichoke bread (basically artichoke dip stuffed into a loaf of Italian bread that has been split in half, then it's baked. A few days ago, we made Cranberry-orange bread.

My daughter has been making banana bread with my mom and helping my dad in the kitchen and sharing hot cocoa and marshmallows in one of his espresso cups. Shes only 27 months but she is so delicate about it and lifts the cup at the same time he does, takes a sip, and sets it back down. They are so fun to watch together, she loves her Nana & Baba
