It doesn’t get any easier (or cuter) than these super simple cinnamon roll Easter bunnies. With only 1 ingredient, you don’t even need a recipe! These are great for an Easter brunch and Easter morning.

Check out our how-to video on the Made by Kids YouTube channel for instructions or read on below!

To start, buy a tube of your favorite cinnamon roll. Use one cinnamon roll as the face and keep 1-2 more back to cut and use for the ears

2. Unwrap the cinnamon roll and make your ear shape

3. Keep in mind that the roll and the ears will expand as they bake so give plenty of room. I used a little tin foil to keep the ear shape

4. Let the bunnies cool and add your icing

5. If you wish you can use chocolate chips and jelly beans to make a bunny face

Kid-Friendly April Fools’ Jokes for Kids

March 26, 2022Leave a comment

This year for April Fools’ Day we decided to let the kids think of their own pranks for each other as well as us parents. Check out our YouTube channel to see how the pranks played out! We hope you enjoy trying one of these kid-friendly April Fools’ Day pranks with your family!

https://youtu.be/Pq17cRWMVUE

We had mayonnaise milk for our little guy (total fail! He liked it!), spicy spaghetti for our middle, and a chocolate onion “cupcake” for dad!

Prank #1: Mayonnaise Milk

Mix milk and mayonnaise as desired. Serve to your victim and wait for their reaction! In our case, there was no reaction so don’t be afraid to add more mayo!

Prank #2: Spicy Spaghetti

Add pasta sauce and hot sauce or spicy salsa as desired. We went mild with this since it was for our little one but you can go as spicy as you’d like for an adult or older kiddo.

Prank #3: Onion Cupcake

Grab a cupcake wrapper, an onion, and store-bought frosting for this kid-friendly April Fools’ joke. We left the onion whole and frosted it but you can also slice it in half and add it to the cupcake wrapper to give an extra onion smell and taste to your “cupcake”. Place the onion in a cupcake wrapper and frost it and sprinkle it as you would a cupcake.

Happy April Fools’ Day!

Easy Kids Experiment – Food Coloring Play for Kids

February 10, 2022February 15, 2022Leave a comment

Our kids love experiments! Since our site is all about being creative and letting kids get messy and have fun making different foods and art pieces, we thought it would be fun to let them experiment with coloring. It doesn’t get any easier than this color experiment for kids.

For this experiment, you only need water and a 4-pack of food coloring. Dye or gel will work great. You’ll also want some clear plastic cups and something to stir. This is a great way to teach kids about colors, what colors can be mixed to make other colors, and more. This is also great for teaching basic cooking skills such as pouring and stirring. This is a fun sensory play activity for toddlers and kids as well.

Check out our kid’s food coloring experiment below or on our YouTube channel Made by Kids Co!

To start, show your child the four colors included in your set. Place a few drops in each cup. Have a pitcher or some large cups of water handy. Next, pour the water into each different cup. Let your little ones pour the water themselves or stir the dye in.

Only fill them a quarter or halfway. You want plenty of room for them to add other colors together into the cups.

Once you have the small cups filled and stirred with each individual color you can let them play with pouring them into one another. Experiment with blue and yellow to see if they make green, for example.
