Make Pretzels: Baking Workshop for Kids
Saturday, 26th August, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm at Riverside in Lower Moutere.
We're thrilled to host another children's pretzel-making workshop, designed for those 8 years and up.
In this workshop, kids will be introduced to a unique technique of baking a soft, golden-brown pretzel, differing from regular bread through its boiling-baking process. Beyond baking, this workshop will enhance their creativity, fine motor skills, and patience, and ensure a joyful experience culminating in a delicious self-made pretzel.
Note: This workshop incorporates standard white flour and butter, unsuitable for gluten and dairy-intolerant individuals. It also involves boiling water; hence children below 8 require adult supervision.
Limited to 12 children. $10 per child; Sponsorships available (just ask). Online Bookings essential: www.riverside.org.nz...
This workshop is proudly sponsored by the Riverside Community Trust. Please contact Tanja (at education@riverside.org.nz) for workshop questions or to ask about sponsorship options.
