Kaboodle Kits for Kids – Cooking Parties
ByIf there is one thing kids love more than cooking, it’s cooking with their friends! The Kaboodle Kids Cooking Kit is not only great as a birthday present but also as the basis of a fantastic birthday party. They love to get messy knowing that there will be something tasty at the end of it.
Here are some helpful tips for running a cooking party:
1. Keep the numbers small. Depending on the size of your kitchen and the age of your guests this party idea is better suited to a small group of 2 to 6 children. (2 kits would be needed for higher numbers)
2. Accept before hand that this is going to be a messy activity and there is no way around it. Flour fights are inevitable and fun, especially if started by mum!
Games:
The Kids Cooking Kits feature a gingerbread man recipe card and cookie cutter. Here are some fun games to compliment the Gingerbread man theme.
1. ‘You Can’t Catch Me, I’m the Gingerbread Man”. You can put a twist on the classic game of Red Rover by having the children on the sideline yell out “Run, run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man” before trying to outrun the chosen chaser.
2. “Hot Gingerbread Man”. Here is another twist on a classic game. Pre-make a gingerbread man so that it has had time to cool down. Have the children stand around in a circle and toss the “Hot, hot gingerbread man” quickly around, with music playing in the background. Turn your back to the circle so that the game is fair, and stop the music. Whoever is holding the gingerbread man when the music stops is out. The last person left is the winner.
3. “Who stole the gingerbread man” – Set up a treasure hunt where children have to solve clues for hidden gingerbread men that you have pre-made.
Cooking parties are messy fun. With the help of Kaboodle Kits for Kids, they are now easy to do, too.
