The Children’s Mindful Baking Experience by Bake Me Pretty is a hands-on, interactive, baking and skills-based series for children ages 7-10. Led by Rachel, owner of Bake Me Pretty, the three-week course combines her 15+ years working with kids and her training to teach baking alongside practical mindfulness skills. The goal is a fun, interactive program where children learn techniques they can use every day. Class skills include basic baking and decorating, slowing down and noticing experiences, tuning into the senses, breathing tools for frustration and waiting, awareness of feelings, positive affirmations to build self-esteem, independence and confidence, creativity—and, of course, a yummy treat to enjoy and one to take home. Classes are held at a licensed commercial kitchen in Bloomfield, NJ. To ensure individual attention, groups are intentionally small. This is a drop-off class: the first 10 minutes are for check-in, after which we ask caregivers to step outside so children can practice focus and independence. This is a three-week course (one class per week) and full attendance is expected. If your child cannot attend a session, please email Rachel; there are no refunds or rescheduled dates except if the instructor cancels, in which case a refund or make-up date will be offered. To register, select the September 15 start date and confirmation will indicate enrollment for the full three weeks. Questions? Email Rachel@bakemepretty.com — responses within 1–2 business days. I’d love to have your child join this interactive group—it’s going to be a one-of-a-kind experience!
