Kids in the Kitchen 2- ingredient Strawberry Cake

Every Wednesday we do a kids in the kitchen cooking activity. For the month of February we will be making something red each week. This week we made 2 ingredient strawberry cake one box of angel food cake and one can of strawberry filling. We mixed it together and baked it at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

This 2 ingredient strawberry cake is amazing and so easy to make especially with toddlers! It’s an egg free dessert and super moist plus the kids are excited they get to lick the bowl if we don't use eggs!

Sensory Play Fun with cornstarch and water

Cornstarch and water makes the best sensory play! Though it can be very messy but VERY FUN! I let each of the children pick out two of their favorite colors. This is my favorite group activity to do with them.

We love brushing our teeth after meal times!

Even Miss Becky has her own!

Footprint Art is a weekly thing around here..

Science Fun

I need to stock up on baking soda and vinegar because we just love doing this fun science activity! Next time I’m definitely going to use paint instead of food coloring because as it turns out I kind of dyed their hands different colors! They stuck with this activity for 30 minutes and we’re disappointed when we had to clean up for lunch.
