Looking for cheap, easy and fun activities to keep the kids occupied?
Get them cooking! Not only will you be teaching the little ones an essential life skill, but at the end of the day, you’ve got goodies to eat!
The kids will love getting their hands dirty making cakes, cookies and pikelet batters, but the difference is, these kid-friendly cooking projects are low in fructose and nutrient dense. Aunty Kath’s Cookie Dough, get out of here!
Pumpkin Pikelets
Making pikelets is just a mandatory school holidays activity. These delicious stacks get their sweetness from pumpkin puree and nothing else!
Mac ‘n Cheese
Mac ‘n Cheese is a kid’s favourite that adults secretly can’t get enough of. We’ve made it nutritious enough for everyone, sneaking in a tonne of hidden veg (they’ll never knowww).
Lettuce Burger + Eggplant Chips
The kids will love getting their hands around these juicy meat patties. Plus, we’ve given the bog-standard potato chip a tasty twist with nutritious eggplant.
Thumbprint Cookies
Even little kids love being part of the cooking process. Get them involved with these “hands-on” Thumbprint Cookies, filled with our famous Raspberry Chia Jam.
LCM Bars
Our version of this lunchbox regular is sooo much tastier and doesn’t come with an inevitable sugar crash! The healthy fats from macadamias will keep little tummies fuller for longer.
Dino Cookie Bites
You don’t even have to bake these. Low maintenance parenting for the win!
Chocolate Nut Butter Cups
Is your kid okay with nuts? Time to fill up before the back-to-school lunch box ban.
Macho Nachos
Because every kid loves nachos. You can even play around with natural food colouring (turmeric, beetroot, spinach) and make your own rainbow corn chips.
Sugar-Free Nut-Ella
This has the sweet nutty flavour without the bomb of fructose and palm oil contained in certain other Spreads that Shall Not Be Named.
Butterfly Cupcakes
These gorgeous treats are far easier to assemble than they look. Invite the neighbour’s kid around for this showstopper!
