Have Fun Baking with Baketivity + L.O.L. Surprise Cookie and Cupcakes Kits

As the holiday season draws to a close, chances are your children have received many new toys. They may have joined the L.O.L. Surprise gang. Your home is now inundated with L.O.L. dolls everywhere- another tiny piece of clothing here, an impossibly small accessory there. Your YouTube channel is full of L.O.L Surprise unboxings. After school, the kids run to their screens to spend hours watching videos of the L.O.L. dolls. It started with a two-hour video of a mother daughter duo unwrapping individual L.O.L. doll accouterments, and dressing their surprise dolls. Now the kids have discovered the L.O.L. surprise music videos! They are fully immersed in L.O.L. Surprise culture. Perhaps you would like to incorporate a healthy activity into their lives, that doesn't involve excessive screen time. Maybe you are starting to think about something fun that your little ones will enjoy that won't clog up your vacuum on a daily basis. What project can you come up with to lure your kids into doing something creative, contained, and less jarring than those blaring YouTube clips? Your children never skip a meal, they love to eat, and they especially love sweet treats. Baketivity has a solution to get your kids baking! Children of any age will be thrilled to be presented with a kitchen adventure, that will allow them to use their innovative brains and bake L.O.L. surprise goodies. Whatever the weather outside, your kitchen will always be a warm (or cool!) place for your kids to gather and create. Mom and Dad can feel good, knowing that their children are using their hands and intellect in a skill building activity that lets them learn and grow their knowledge. Baking lights up so many areas of our children’s constantly changing brains. Plus, all can enjoy eating the results.

Family Fun Through Baking

It can be hard to come up with fun activities that will appeal to the whole family. Many family activities can include expensive items that not everyone can afford. The weather has to cooperate if you are planning an outdoor activity. It's not always easy to gather your whole family and travel somewhere. Still, families need to look for opportunities to do things together-unity and bonding are more important than ever in these fractious times. Baking is an accessible way for families to relax and join together to create fun memories. Getting together in the kitchen with some basic ingredients, can open up a host of activities where you are only limited by your imaginations. A small effort by the adults can lead your family to experience shared moments of joy and amusement. The kids will have lasting memories and a new appreciation for family activities. Baking does not have to be hard or end with a post-apocalyptic kitchen. There are many fun and easy things to bake that the whole family can appreciate. Toddlers can enjoy stirring and licking the mixing bowls; elementary school aged kids will love using their reading skills to follow instructions and execute the recipes. Teens will enjoy the end results, and the quiet time they get while their younger siblings busy themselves with food preparation. With our Baketivity kits, the adults in your family are sure to enjoy how simple the whole process can be. We have thought of every detail to make baking as streamlined and mess free as possible. Show up, be present, and enjoy the gift of happy memories you have given to your family- you have provided them with an activity that all can take part in. You can even include relatives who are far away, with the accessible technologies available today. Set up a zoom link, or make a phone video call and have grandma or grandpa join in on the fun. Grandparents always have the best baking tips, and your kids will be sure to cherish these moments!
