We just ran this
27 children came through our spring week
Our spring holiday workshop ran across five days at Helensvale with 27 children from 18 families — cookies, muffins, donuts, cream cake and bread, a different bake each day.
Bookings kept coming right through the week, and we had to close one day early because it was full. Families who booked late took the days that were left rather than the days they wanted. That is the whole reason this list exists.
The Christmas holidays are longer and busier, so we expect the same again. People on the list get the dates first and pick their days first.
The baking
A different bake every day
Each day stands on its own, so a child can come for one day or the whole week and still finish something they are proud of. These are the sessions we run — the Christmas line-up is set once the dates are.
Muffins
Folding, portioning and the patience to leave them alone while they rise.
Donuts
The one they talk about afterwards. Shaping, filling and finishing their own.
Cakes
Layering, cream and decorating — the session parents like to stay for.
Bread
Kneading by hand, waiting for the dough, and a loaf they made from scratch.
Christmas baking
Something for the table at home — gingerbread, shortbread and decorating.

Why a whole week
Long enough for it to actually stick
A one-off class is fun. Several days is where a child stops needing to be told every step and starts working it out for themselves.
By the end they have measured, mixed, waited, cleaned up and served something to someone else — over and over. That is what turns a holiday activity into a skill they keep.
The workshop is open to every child. We are a registered NDIS provider, so if your child needs extra support to take part, tell us on the form and we will plan for it.
