Great Tips for Baking With Kids!

I have a saying I share with my kids before we go somewhere it is “be a blessing, not a burden”. What it means, is act in a way that people will want to invite you back. Be willing to help, have a smile on your face, and choose to be a blessing to those around you. This time of year is a great time to do just that and #spreadthecheer!

One of the things we wanted to do to bless others this holiday season is have a bake sale to raise funds for a local animal shelter and also share some of our treats with those we felt could use some extra cheer this holiday season.

So we hosted a big baking party!  The kids enjoyed baking and we enjoyed sharing the blessing with others 🙂

If you would like to try baking with kids and bless others this holiday season I want to share a few tips that can make the day a lot easier!

 

• Betty Crocker cookie mixes are a must! Especially when you have a lot of baking to do 🙂 These easy cookie mixes make it simple for kids to help bake! They also have coupons to save you money!
• Aprons will help keep you and the kiddos from ruining your clothes!
• Step stools are a great way for the kids to reach high countertops.
• Plastic bowls and mixing spoons will ensure that nothing is broken in the baking process!
• 

We love to bake, and cookies are one of our favorite treats. We started off by heading to our local Walmart to purchase these Betty Crocker cookie mixes. We had a LOT of baking to do and these simple mixes made our baking day a lot easier!

Once we were done we were set for the bake sale! We also were set to bless a few lucky friends in the process 🙂

 

You can bless others as well this holiday season! Grab a Betty Crocker cookie mix and bake some treats for someone who would truly appreciate it! Maybe a local shut in who can’t make it out to church. Maybe your Pastor, or a mom who just had a baby. Have a friend who has been down in spirit? Treat her and her family to a cookie dessert 🙂

I encourage you and your kids to be a blessing to someone this coming holiday season. Once you do, feel free to share it with the hashtag #SpreadCheer and encourage others to pass the blessing on 🙂

By doing this you will be entered into a chance to win your own Betty Crocker cookies giving you a chance to #SpreadCheer in your neighborhood! To enter just share your story (tag me I want to see it!)  on social media using @Betty Crocker and the hashtag #SpreadCheer!
