Gingerbread is a popular recipe in the colder months, but why not try my new Halloween Cinnamon Biscuit recipe instead? We made these delicious biscuits by accident after running out of the ingredients for our usual gingerbread recipe. It’s the perfect dough for rolling, shaping and cutting with babies and toddlers. And it will fill your kitchen with that delicious cinnamon scent! We had lots of fun icing our Halloween Biscuits too, using all the bright, vibrant and spooky colours. So why wait for Christmas? Crack on with the home baking now and enjoy my Halloween Cinnamon Biscuits to bake with your toddler.

Halloween Biscuits
Halloween wasn’t something I got to celebrate much as a kid. So I love to get involved all the more now that I’m a mum myself. We have been enjoying Halloween crafts, Pumpkin Picking, Halloween Songs, and even Halloween Flashcards! There are so many exciting new words, sounds, colours and emotions to explore. It’s a brilliant time to learn and play with toddlers. What have you been up to this Halloween?
