February Is Bake For Family Fun Month

Topeka, KS (PRWeb) February 12, 2007 -- Pizza, pancakes, cookies, bread ... families can reap the benefits of baking together during "Bake for Family Fun Month." The Home Baking Association has designated each February as "Bake for Family Fun Month." It is an ideal time for families to explore baking together.

Baking is an inexpensive family activity with delicious results that the entire family can enjoy. Charlene Patton, Home Baking Association administrator, suggests families visit the Home Baking Association Web site (www.homebaking.org) each week during February where they will find new baking activities, recipes, and resources for baking together.

"Let's Get Started Baking" is the theme for Week One and includes tips for successful baking with children, age appropriate skills for children, kitchen safety and reasons to bake with your children. The first week's family baking activity, "I Can't Believe My Eyes ... The Wonder of Science" introduces young children to the amazing change of ingredients in the kitchen during baking. Home Baking Association members provide additional recipes and baking activities each week. Other weekly themes during February with special family baking ideas are "Baking for My Valentine," "Baking History and Traditions" and "Baking for Others." A special certificate can be printed from the Web site to reward children for baking.

The Home Baking Association mission is to grow the practice of home baking. Members include corporations and associations that promote home baking by providing resources and information to perpetuate future generations of home bakers.
