CHRISTMAS BAKING WITH KIDS

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year. In our house, it’s made more special by baking with the kids, making delicious bakes that they love to eat, share with visitors or give as gifts to family. Here are a few of their favourites; all can be popped into a Kilner jar, or a cellophane bag tied with some Christmas ribbon, ready to bring joy over the festive period. All these recipes are perfect for the kids to get their hands a little bit messy, which is all part of the fun! Relax and enjoy making some wonderful Christmas memories...
