Anzac Day, Anzac Biscuits, NANNY SHECANDO

With Anzac day fast approaching, we’ve taken some time with our nanny children to introduce more in-depth conversations. As I typed the words “we will remember them” earlier this week whilst putting together the Anzac Day Paper Poppy Wreath DIY, tears ran down my face.

The weight and significance of those words have real meaning to me. Because of this, I’m able to understand and acknowledge that these feelings can weigh down hard on our children. And if we’re not able to explain the events, the reasoning, and the emotions properly, our kids are at risk of feeling all kinds of emotion they don’t really know how to handle.

Conversations about events such as Anzac Day can be tough for most of us to have, but it’s a special reminder to broach these topics mindfully with our children. As superstar nanny Olivia demonstrated, she used first the Anzac Day paper craft and then the process of making Anzac Biscuits as activities to do with the kids to provide opportunity to discuss Anzac Day without it being too heavy for our children.

And then well, because we can’t go past a classic, we thought we’d share these yummy classic Anzac Biscuits with you. If the kids are pulling up stools to help (we highly recommend they do), just be careful when mixing the wet ingredients. The bi-card can fizzle and sizzle and splatter if little helping hands are mixing too fervently.
