DIY Bagels for Kids (and Adults)
A bagel is a bread roll made with an O-ring and a hole in the middle. The bagel is different from ordinary bread because of its shiny crust and chewy interior. The interior is the result of long processing time, involving two processes called retarding and boiling before it is baked to create the outer crust. Commercial bagels have bread-like texture because they skip the two processes, but they’re still delicious. There are different bagel styles depending on where you buy them from – you’ll notice differences in texture, chewiness, kilning, and baking methods. In this article, learn all there is to know about making and eating bagels and find out more about our DIY bagels for kids made easy with one of our favorite baking kits.

Teaching Kids About Diversity
When kids are still under your care, it’s easy to forget that they’ll move out and be part of a broader and diverse social community. As such, it’s your responsibility as a parent to teach your kids about diversity, cultural differences, and other distinctions that exist in the world. Instilling in them a sense of tolerance and acceptance while still young allows them to appreciate different cultures, races, and religions. Bear in mind that kids tend to pick up habits from adults, so how you relate and interact with other people is also essential. So, what’s the best way of teaching children about diversity? It’s all about parenting and how you guide your children. Additionally, Baketivity offers the Positivity Cookie Kit Project to help you teach your kids about diversity through engaging, fun activities.
