The kids are happy but mom isn’t. The holidays have arrived and she has to keep the kids entertained. What is she going to do? Why not teach them to make homemade candy?

Just about anyone loves candy, homemade candy especially. Kids love it and love it more if it’s them that have made it. And it really isn’t that hard to make homemade candy if you start with one of the easier candy recipes and the kids love eating the results.

Last night I spent the evening making candy with my kids. They loved it and you should have seen them lick out the bowl. They could hardly wait till it was ready to eat.

And I believe that it’s very important to get kids to learn about the delights of cooking. It is never too early to get started teaching the kids all the joys of cooking, and the skills, and making homemade candy is a great place to start. In fact the perfect place to start the kids cooking.

And it seems to me that the art of cooking is slowly declining. I believe that they are even making new homes now with no kitchen. But it’s sad to think that so many kids will never learn the joy of a family day spent with everyone in the kitchen.

Remember a few things though. Allow plenty of time, because cooking with kids always takes longer, and rushing it spoils the fun. And always expect mess, so don’t worry about it. Kids cannot cook without mess, so expect to have to clean up after cooking.

And one rule that I always follow. Once you’ve found a great homemade candy recipe ALWAYS double the recipe. There’s never enough to go round if you just cook the recipe, because everyone wants more.

And it’s not just the kids that love homemade candy. It makes a fine gift for friends and family, and it’s something that the kids can give that they really did make themselves. And grandma will just love getting candy from the grandkids.

So if your kids are pestering you for great ideas for activities in the school holidays there’s a great idea for you. Get them making homemade candy. It’s a skill that be worth their learning and will them started on cooking.

So get the kids making candy and into the kitchen. But remember, don’t eat all the candy in one go like the kids and I did last night.
