If you have sensed that there’s a natural baker in your nine year-old, this will be a great way to encourage their hobby and talent.

A few days before the party, prepare a list of easy bake recipes that they can follow, and you must also prepare the ingredients ahead of time. During the party, it’ll help if you demonstrate in front of the kids so that they can just follow your lead. Go ahead and bake the world a better place!
