Christmas will be here before you know it, in fact, it’s almost a month away!
My kids love getting into the kitchen around the holidays and helping bake or cook meals. Getting your kids involved in cooking while their young can teach them valuable kitchen skills, and even teach them to cook on their own in the future.
Making snack crafts is a fun way to get the little ones interested in cooking, and that’s why I put together 20 Christmas snack crafts that your kids can make. While they need a little parental supervision, most of these recipes can be made without you.
