Parenting can feel like you have to think of new exciting ideas for play all the time, when often it’s the old, simple ideas that work the best. We wanted to share with you a little Happy Song Toy Afternoon that we had! 

Baking is great for children’s development, using skills like communication, motor skills, creativity and it starts to introduce maths and science too! Perhaps most importantly, results in delicious baked goods! 

We used this simple Tesco recipe for the cupcakes…

200g unsalted butter, softened
200g golden caster sugar
3 medium free range eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
200g self-raising flour
1-2 tbsp milk

For the icing
160g unsalted butter,
softened 300g icing sugar
1 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Once they’re ready - time for a Happy Song Toy afternoon tea party, and the whole gang was invited! We’d love to see your Happy Song Toys at playtime!
