CRAFTS FOR KIDS

Rainy Day Cakes

DCW Forums member karadawn shared with us an interesting idea for kids. We reproduce it here for you:

Rainy Day Cakes
By Kara Kelso
http://www.momsmarketonline.com

As we enter the beginning of spring, I'm reminded of the saying "April showers bring May Flowers". What that old saying doesn't mention is how easy children can get bored while watching the rain, just wishing they could go outside.

A gift from a friend turned out to be a great way to keep the kids busy even if just for an hour or so. Just a few days ago I received a cake from Greeting Cake Company ( http://www.gottaknack4cakes.com/ ), and I was surprised at how fun these were!

The kit included ingredients (all we did was add water), the mixing bowl, measuring tools, sprinkles, and even a candle so we could have a "pretend" party. My children, ages 2 and 4, were able to do just about everything on their own - including baking the cake! There was no "waiting for the cake to bake", because all we had to do was put it in the microwave. While it was hot and took a minute to cool, we were able to put the frosting and sprinkles on almost right away.

Of course the cake was completely gone within a few minutes of it being finished, but I was so impressed with how easy this was for the kids to do nearly on their own!

The best part of this unique product is the cakes themselves are all around $5-$6. It was a terrific project for the two little ones, plus they got dessert too.
