When rainy conditions keep your little ones inside, ask them to join you in the kitchen for some old-fashioned homemade fun. Consider these inviting activities:
- Sugar cookies are easy to prepare with packaged dough. Bake a batch and ask your tots to decorate them. Or, cut a pan of frosted brownies into bars and have the kids top them with candies, chocolate chips or sprinkles.
- Have the children color pictures on large sheets of blank paper to use as personalized place mats at mealtime.
- Plan a silly supper menu where the meal is served backwards. Start with a favorite dessert, then enjoy an easy-to-assemble entree followed by an appealing appetizer.
Here’s a recipe for fun from Kathy Scott of Hemingford, Nebraska. Edible Play Dough yields about 2-1/2 cups of fun:
1 cup powdered dry milk
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup honey
In a bowl, combine all ingredients. Chill. Shape into faces, letters, shapes, etc. or cut out with cookie cutters. If mixture is too sticky, roll in additional powdered milk. Decorate with raisins or candy if desired.
For more great kid-friendly ideas, check out the special Web Bonus featuring Summer Food Fun for kids.
