5 Valentine’s Day Bakes To Make With Your Kids – lets take a look.

There are lots of ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but sometimes spending it with the people you love the most, doing the things you love the most can be the most rewarding. If you have children, celebrating Valentine’s Day by having an evening in might be more common, or even easier. However, this doesn’t mean it can’t be as fun as celebrating out.

There can be a lot of validation put on gifts and cards on Valentine’s Day, so it can be common for children to feel left out if friends and family around them have a “Valentine” or if peers in school have a Valentine’s Day card. Doing a wholesome activity like baking or cooking with your kids is a lovely way to involve them whilst also developing their motor skills and creativity. It also means they have tasty treats at the end which they enjoy and give to friends, classmates or family to continue spreading the love!

Love Bug Biscuits

Spread the love with these adorable and colourful love bug biscuits. This recipe is slightly longer, but it’s great for children aged 7 to 11 or younger children to take part in with adult supervision. Again, these are biscuits, but they have a red theme and the cutest love bug design making them eye-catching and mouth-watering! They only require five ingredients, and the recipe makes 30 biscuits, perfect for a Valentine’s party or giving to friends. Although the love bug design is sweet, your child may want to explore using a different colour for their biscuit or even try creating a different animal such as a dove or maybe even Cupid if they would like something more challenging. Your children will hopefully love making these and of course eating them, too!

 

 

Red Velvet Cupcakes

Is red not the colour of love? These red velvet cupcakes are a lovely treat to share around the classroom and children can enjoy going wild with their decorating. The recipe makes 12 cupcakes, but you can always double the recipe so there is enough for everyone depending on your child’s class size. This recipe is a little more complex but it could be great for siblings to do together at home or for children to practice in a food technology lesson at school. You could even decorate the cupcakes with people’s initials, heart-shaped edible confetti or some red sprinkles. Of course, no red velvet cake is complete without cream cheese frosting and the instructions to make that are included in the recipe. If your child is planning on giving these out to classmates, make sure they have checked for allergies beforehand!

 

 

Chocolate Truffles

Who said the adults have to miss out? These truffles are ideal for adults and children alike. Although truffles have a slightly more mature taste, these are non-alcoholic and chocolate-flavoured, so many children will still like them. This also means grown-ups can enjoy them, too! Support your child through making these sweet treats by reading instructions and helping them with measurements. Your child will also have the opportunity to decorate them how they wish, either using icing sugar, sprinkles, designated coconut or anything else you can think of. Baking truffles is great too as you can choose your child’s favourite chocolate to make them with. If you have a party or gathering coming up, bring these as a dessert or snack.
