If your child (or a child you know) would like to participate, please let us know ASAP... we can only accommodate a few kids at a time due to kitchen space.

Hosting... (Jr. = 4-8yrs Sr. = 9+yrs)
WHEN: Thursdays
WHAT: Choose a recipe for the group to make and decide if you will have everyone bring what they need, delegate the list amongst participants or just figure the cost and ask them to bring that amount.
THEN: Help the kids follow the recipe and send them home with their masterpieces!
WHO: You + choose another adult to help you
TIME: Typically morning for ages 4-8 and anytime for "older kids". Length will depend on recipe, just consider attention span
