A Hands-On Holiday Experience

At The Real Food Academy, we believe hands-on learning is the most effective way to teach children new skills while encouraging creativity and fun. Our classes are built around the idea that kids learn best by doing, and we love seeing them light up with joy and pride as they bring their ideas to life.

That’s why our classes are fully hands-on. We let kids decorate at their own pace and express their creativity. This approach also helps them learn valuable skills like patience, attention to detail, and fine motor control.

We’ve designed our classes to be accessible to all ages and skill levels, ensuring everyone feels welcome and engaged. Our team works hard to create a collaborative and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable expressing their creativity and adults enjoy the festive spirit alongside them.

And of course, the fun doesn’t end in the classroom! Every participant gets to take their gingerbread house home to proudly display or share with family and friends!

    We recently had the pleasure of attending a Halloween-themed cooking class at the real food academy with our kids, and it was a delightful experience! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was festive, filled with spooky decorations and a warm, welcoming vibe. The instructor was fantastic, engaging with both the kids and adults, making everyone feel comfortable and excited about cooking. The recipes we worked on were creative and fun, perfectly suited for the Halloween theme. Our kids loved getting their hands dirty and exploring new ingredients, and they were thrilled to see their creations come to life. What stood out to us was how the class combined cooking skills with Halloween-themed fun. We made spooky snacks and treats that not only tasted great but also looked fantastic. It was wonderful to see our children’s creativity shine as they decorated their dishes. Overall, this cooking class was a great way to bond as a family while learning something new. It sparked our kids' interest in cooking and gave us some fantastic ideas for Halloween treats we can recreate at home. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun, interactive activity to enjoy with their kids!
