For our Baketivity reviews, we purchased the Swirling Cinnamon Bun’s baking kit.
This baking kit included a recipe booklet with clear, child-friendly steps with pictures, pre-measured dry ingredients, a lesson on synonyms, and a matching game to practice what we learned.
We paid $32.95 with free shipping for the kit.  Shop Now >>
Baketivity recipes are very kid-friendly with step-by-step easy-to-read illustrated instructions.
Our recipe had 15 steps with an optional icing with 2 steps.
The estimated creation time was 2 hours with 25 min to prep, 1 hour to rise, 25 min to bake, and 10 min to cool.
I was a little concerned with the 2 hour time estimate because my son would not want to bake for that long but then realized that you are only really actively baking for about 15-25 min with plenty of time to do the lesson and activity while the buns are rising, baking, and cooling.
It would be great if the Baktivity lessons included the “why” behind baking so that kids can better understand the basic concepts.   Shop Now >>
The Baketivity Cinnamon Bun ingredients that were included in our kit were flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, dry yeast, dark brown sugar, and cinnamon mix (cinnamon, sugar, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla sugar).
We needed to supply 1 egg and oil. We also used butter versus oil in one of the steps as we felt it would give a richer flavor to the cinnamon buns.
Note: Baketivity offers both wheat-free and gluten-free options and all baking kits and ingredients are certified kosher. Shop Now >>
The activity included with our Swirling Cinnamon Buns kit was called “Sticky Synonym Buns” and was all about synonyms.
This lesson was a good reinforcement of a concept that my son was already familiar with and could easily be taught to younger kids with ease.
My son, 9, was able to easily read the recipe and follow the instructions with little help from me. He enjoys baking, but is often intimidated by the steps and measuring everything correctly.
Baketivity baking kits take those fears away and allow children to follow the easy recipes and build confidence in the kitchen.
Along the way, I was able to explain how yeast works, why you knead the dough, and why the dough needs to rest twice prior to baking so that he could understand the science behind the recipe. Â Shop Now >>
I really enjoyed my time in the kitchen with my son baking the Baketivity Swirling Cinnamon Buns baking kit.
My son was apprehensive going into the activity as he lacks confidence and experience in the kitchen, but by the end, when he was enjoying the fruits of his labor, he asked when could we do it again.
It was great to see this kit boost his confidence! And the cinnamon buns tasted great 🙂 Shop Now >>

The Baketivity kid’s baking kits allow children to gain experience and confidence in the kitchen as well as spend some quality time with a parent or loved one.
And while we loved how easy the recipe instructions were to follow, the pre-measured ingredients, and how yummy the final product tasted, we would like to see more Seasonal Baking Kits or a Holiday Subscription as this would be a super fun tradition.
We highly recommend Baketivity kids baking kits as a fun family activity and think that they would make a great gift! Â Shop Now >>
