Weetbix slice kids can make

I love getting into the kitchen and cooking with Possum (2.5 years) whenever I can. I admit I’m not a fancy cook, but fortunately kids are far from fussy when it comes to pouring in the flour or mixing everything into a bowl. Cooking is also a great indoor activity.

Here is a delicious sweet slice that uses a simple and common breakfast cereal, which is also very high in fibre. This Weet-Bix slice can be enjoyed by the whole family and become your new favourite recipe to use with your kids. 

Recommended age: 2 years +

Children gain so much from each cook experience they are involved in. They witness you measure ingredients and begin to learn how combining them together, as a recipe describes,  to create something that is different (and edible). Children are able to learn about various foods and how they impact on their bodies (sweet treats I call ‘sometimes foods’) and the get to know more about textures through sensory exploration. 

Cooking with children is simply lots of fun and I hope you’re able to give this simple recipe a try. Don’t forget to consider making some of the other kid-friendly recipes also found on my blog. 🙂

    Hi, Just wondering what the measurement is for the flour in this recipe? It says 1 1/2 of something I’m just not sure if it would be cups or tablespoons?
    Thanks,

      Thank you SO much Anna!!!! It should read 1 1/2 CUPS of plain flour.
      I really appreciate you contacting me so I can fix up that little error. 🙂

    Do you know that Weet-Bix now has a gluten free variant?
    You just substitute in same quantity – and remember to substitute the other flour with gluten free as well. I have made it recently
