Start a veggie/herb garden
Veggie and herb gardens are a great way to get kids interested and active in the kitchen. The best part? They’re super cost-effective as well! Jump in the car, head to your local garden centre and pick up some seeds and potting mix and using old pots/jars laying around the house you can create a veggie/herb garden that will get kids excited and be the gift that keeps on giving long after the school holidays end!

Try recreating your favourite takeaway at home
We all know the school holidays are a time to let your hair down, relax and often times that means leaning towards unhealthier meals as a special treat . ‘Fakeways’ are a great way to get the kids involved in the kitchen while also treating them to a healthier version of their favourite takeaways and still ensuring that they’re receiving essential vitamins and. Making ‘fakeaways’ at home means you know exactly what is and isn’t going in to them, it also means you can include more of what you love and less of what you don’t.
