For the Budding Chef: I’m the Chef Too

Give kids a new STEM-baking adventure every month with I’m the Chef Too! – turning the kitchen into a lab where kids get to test, taste and discover. Start by making predictions, then dive into recipes where chemistry, geology, astronomy, and other STEM concepts come to life. They’ll learn about chemical reactions as they create Erupting Volcano Cakes, explore geology through edible Cupcake Geodes, and discover astronomy while decorating Galaxy Donuts. Along the way, interactive activities explain the “why” behind the bubbles, rises, and reactions, transforming baking into quality family time and STEM education – with a tasty treat at the end! Each kit comes with pre-measured ingredients, specialty supplies, and easy-to-follow instructions.
