Bake Christmas classics with the kids
Cake, cookies and gingerbread are classic Christmas staples in Australia. And learning how to make them is a right of passage for any kid, big or small. Fortunately, there’s a buffet of Perth Christmas events to get their tummies rumbling. (And yours.)
Get your little tykes into the kitchen with this Kids’ Christmas baking workshop, courtesy of The Cooking Professor in Mount Hawthorn. Under the guidance of an experienced chef (and child-wrangler) your little ones will learn how to make, bake, ice and decorate a variety of cute Christmas cookies. To fuel their culinary creativity, they’ll each enjoy a smoothie and some pancakes with fruit – all the energy they need to whip up a collection of sweet treats.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Christmas activity without the addition of marshmallow snowmen and reindeer, which also feature on the menu. This class is perfect for kids aged 6-12 and – good news – adult accompaniment isn’t required. Go on, make yourself a Christmas cocktail and enjoy a couple of hours of kid-free bliss! (You’re welcome.)

Callie bought tickets to The Happy Hub Collective’s DIY wreath workshop and said: “I purchased this as a thank you gift for my amazing neighbour who always helps me with my three sons. She is obsessed with Christmas and this was the perfect chance to steal her away and show her how much we appreciate her. We got to spend the most relaxing morning creating and bonding. I cannot recommend this workshop highly enough. The perfect gift of time well spent – which is the most precious gift of all!”
