Kitchen Connections Pie Party Fun

Families connected through cooking together at the Kitchen Connections Pie Party at Port Hardy Civic Centre on January 31.

The event celebrated Family Literacy Week (Jan. 25-Feb. 1) and the theme "Make mealtime family learning time."

Families worked together to prepare a warm, flaky chicken pot pie and mud pie dessert. Children received a "Mud Pie Master Chef" medal.

Cooking together is a great learning activity that includes reading, numeracy, motor skills, cooperation and bonding!

"Thanks for hosting such a fun event! We are looking forward to making these pies again." - Parent

Kids' quotes: "These pies are mm mmm good!" "A medal? Heck yes!" "I want another spoonful of pie filling!"

Mother and son Tanya and Carter ready their station.

Uh oh! Cracking an egg gets silly for Laura and son, Lucas.
