the childrens ages will be 2yrs, 3yrs ,5yrs,8yrs and 10yrs so needs to be simple for the younger ones

Australia day......how about a BBQ? lol. For chinese new year i usually do a stir fry with noodles.

Why not make a role play cafe for Chinese New Year.. write up proper menus like at the restaurant.

You could start with sweetcorn soup, then noodles or rice with favourite meat / veg and finish with oranges :D

got a toy bbq so gona do a pretend one in the living room with them dread to think what the parents will think when they say they had a bbq in my living room:eek:
but really wanted some recipes the children could help cook

Try making some Lamingtons - cakes covered in coconut - very Australian...

You could make this out of salt dough, rather than proper cooking and that way all the ages could join in and then you could have a dinner.

found this website that I used last year. Covers a lot of countries
