City Of Ryde would usually be gearing up for the Granny Smith Festival around this time of the year, but they’ve had to change their plans because of the current COVID-19 situation and lockdown. Instead, they’ll be running free virtual workshops for kids and hosting online music events that can be enjoyed by the whole family from the comfort of your home.
Kids’ Virtual Cooking Classes
All mini chefs will have the chance to participate in CORs free, fun, educational and delicious cooking classes, hosted by Kids Love to Cook.
The professional hosts will give step-by-step guidance on how to make apple-inspired recipes. The classes are open to the suggested age range of 7 to 14-year-olds of all skill levels.
