Birthday food
Making your child’s favourite foods is a great way to make them feel extra special when you throw an isolation birthday! You can still have various party type foods but you could do something a little different like make them breakfast in bed with all the trimmings, or their favourite lunch and dinner and make it all about them!
You might even take the opportunity to get them involved in the cooking and baking! For some amazing recipes to try, head over to our friend Andrea’s page The cooking collective https://www.thecookingcollective.com.au/ here

Each child will cook either a mug cake OR a pizza from their own home (ingredients list supplied). Children will also make a joint digital birthday card, sing happy birthday and play interactive games”-
