Kids Valentine's Day Cooking Class

[jeninthekitchen5]

I recently sent this to a homeschool group, and will also send it to my contacts, and childrens friends. I'll put in a catalog show before the class for the cookbooks, and hopefully a second order later with their coupons (which will be good just for the month of Feb.) I used a red font with hearts, it looked really cute. If I get a good response, I will do it again with another cookbook or product, once a month.
What do you think? BTW, I already teach a 60 min. cooking class for the homeschool co-op once a week, but it is free, since we parents all take turns teaching something (it's non-profit).

Looking for something sweet to give your lil' honey???

How about a Valentines Day Cooking Class
Friday, February 13th

The fee for the class is $20 for the first student and $15 for each additional

This fee includes a hands-on cooking lesson,
a yummy sampling of our finished product,
a beautiful, spiral bound Delightful Desserts Cookbook (a $14.75 value)
plus, a coupon good for 10% off any Pampered Chef Purchase.

Due to space, each class will be open to the first ten students with paid registration.

I do a Kids in the Kitchen workshop every 3-4 months and this is the one I'm doing Feb 14th and Feb 15th. I actually had to turn kids away because my classes filled up! They have been very successful for me. I only charged pretty much for the first child and then just for ingredients and prizes for additional siblings - they only get one bar pan, though.

I also offered a discount if you brought a paying guest.

The day of the show I give an order form that has what we used in the recipe and offer free shipping.

Wow, Jessica, I loved your ideas! Do you mind if I "borrow" them? I was wondering how long your classes run. Also, how were your after sales?

No! Take them! I loved your Valentine class as well. Sounds really cute.

As you can see I haven't changed my order form to the new workshop yet. The holiday workshop lasted about 2 hours. The one for pizza I suspect will last about 1 1/2 hours. I don't want it to run long.

While the pizza is baking, we'll be playing games: stacking valentine heart candy, guess how many candies are in the jar, decorating valentine bags to take home (paper).

I'm also providing tea and a dip for parents to munch on while their kids have fun.

My after sales were about enough to make a show. I'm hoping for better sales this time.

I have noticed many people talking about doing these cooking classes with both adults and kids. The question that keeps coming to mind is where does everyone do them? I really like the idea and have been thinking about doing one but I am not sure where to hold it.

Love it Jessica - and I'm thinking about stealing it!

Where to have it?

I would contact your church, they usually will rent their fellowship hall for not too much and you are pretty much guaranteed they will have kitchen appliances.

I'm wanting to do this! I think it would be fun for my little town
Jessica, what dip did you serve to the parents?
In your invite did you request parents to be present?
