Holiday Baking Classes for Long Island Kids

11/17/14 - By Erica Jackson

'Tis the season for plenty of yummy treats. Instead of doing all of the hard work by yourself, why not get the kids in on some of the action? In fact, the holidays are a great time to get your kids in the kitchen, learning to bake pies, cookies and other goodies. And there are a few classes on Long Island where children can take their cooking skills to the next level, including learning how to create some holiday delights. For all, pre-registration is required. 

And for other fun ideas and activities during the season, be sure to check out our Long Island Holiday Guide.
