  • Have “Knots and Knots of Fun” with your kids with these activities

    Have “Knots and Knots of Fun” with your kids with these activities

    Staying indoors for too long can make your kids feel bored. Instead of letting them spend their days glued to their smartphones or tablets, try these activities that you can actually do with them. Now, you’re not only adding excitement to their moments at home, you also get to bond and have fun together.

    Check out these four fun and exciting at-home activities your kids will love doing with you:

    Indoor scavenger hunt

    Hide different items around the house and have your little ones search for them. To make this more interesting, make the clues specific to your family – information only you and your family would know like items or places linked to their favorites or special memories.

    If you see your kids having fun with this game, make it a weekly habit. You can even assign a host among your family members every week so even the kids get the feel of hiding something. If they’re too young, you or an older sibling can pair up with them.

    Your own dance party

    Exercising is always advised, especially now that we’re all cooped up indoors. Make it a lot more fun by dancing the night (or day) away with the whole family. Allow different family members to suggest different songs of their preference so everyone gets their share of leading the dance.

    Just let loose, laugh, and break a sweat together.

    Karaoke time

    Karaoke is a very Filipino family activity. You can take it up a notch by turning it into a full-on singing competition. Pick a theme every week: can be based on the singer, the genre of the song, or even the current occasion (like Christmas songs for the Holidays, love songs for Valentine’s Day, etc.), and have family members perform based on the theme. Make it extra glamorous by wearing costumes that align with the performance.

    You can include exciting prizes like unlimited Cheesy Knots snacks, no chores for three days, or more TV time.

    Do Knot forget the snacks

    To make each activity even more fun, have some snacks! And since we’re talking about bringing joy into your little ones’ days, you can’t go wrong with Cheesy Knots. It’s a yummy pretzel snack, with milky cheese flavored coating.

    Make sure to stock up your pantry with Cheesy Knots, so everyone can munch on them while having the best time together as a family. Have “Knots and Knots of fun” bonding with your family as you enjoy this new delicious treat.

    If you’re looking for more exciting activities to try out with your family, check the Club Knots Facebook page. It’s filled with creative activity videos you and your kids can do together.

  • Make your child’s home learning more fun with these exciting snack recipes

    Make your child’s home learning more fun with these exciting snack recipes

    To make snack time even more delightful, parents can get creative in preparing goodies for their kids who do home learning. Whether their little ones need a quick pick-me-up in between online classes, or something to much-on to energize them as they do homework, here are yummy and easy-to-make snacks that are sure to fit the bill.

    Delightful Fried Cream-Os                          

    With its crunchy, bitter-sweet chocolate cookies and rich creamy vanilla or chocolate filling, Jack ‘n Jill Cream-O is yummy on its own. With this new twist, parents can make this even more delightful for their kids.

    Fried Cream-O

    Start by mixing pancake batter with water according to package directions, or creating his or her own batter by combining flour, water, milk, and eggs. Dip the Cream-O into the batter then fry in hot oil for about two (2) minutes or until they are golden-brown. Place the Cream-Os on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve and enjoy!

    No-bake Quake Overload Chocolate Cake

    Moms and dads can try this no-bake chocolate cake for their kids’ dessert during lunch break.

    First, prepare the frosting by whisking an all-purpose cream until it thickens. Once it doubles its size, pour half (1/2) a can of condensed milk and mix it well together. Place it inside the refrigerator to chill for an hour.

    No Bake Quake Overload Cake

    When the frosting is ready, start assembling the cake by slicing the Jack ‘n Jill Quake Overload cake bars in half horizontally to create two even layers. Spread some of the frosting onto the bottom cake layer. Place the second layer and put the remaining frosting on the top and sides of the cake. Add some crushed Cream-O bits as the finishing touch. Put the cake in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

    Magic Flakes Tuna Nuggets

    Here’s an interesting twist on the classic tuna sandwich that both adults and their kids will surely enjoy.

    To make this recipe, combine one (1) can of tuna, two (2) packs of crushed Jack ‘n Jill Magic Flakes Plain, two (2) tablespoons of flour, one (1) minced onion, salt, and pepper. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and form into nuggets—get creative as you mold them into different shapes and sizes. Fry the Magic Flakes Tuna Nuggets until they are golden brown and serve it with your kid’s favorite dipping sauce!

    Presto Peanut Butter Cups

    This snack is a must-try for parents whose kids are peanut butter lovers.

    To start, one will need one (1) cup of melted chocolate bar and one (1) cup of melted Presto Peanut Butter cream filling. In a cupcake tin, pour one (1) to two (2) tablespoons of the melted chocolate and place in the refrigerator to set. Top the chocolate with the same amount of the melted Presto Peanut Butter cream filling. Sprinkle some crushed Presto cookie bits on top and refrigerate for an hour before serving.

    Choco Knots Cereal Mix

    Parents can prepare this easy-to-follow recipe for their kids who love breakfast cereals and Jack ‘n Jill Choco Knots.

    In a nonstick pan, melt marshmallows over medium heat. To avoid burning, mix it every 30 seconds. Once it’s melted, pour in the rice cereal, chocolates, and Choco Knots bits. Stir the ingredients until fully combined then cut into smaller squares. Let cool and set before serving.

    Parents can even try making strawberry or milk-flavored version of this by simply substituting Choco Knots with Berry or Milky Knots variant.

    Wafrets Chocolate Milkshake

    Moms and dads can serve this yummy wafer milkshake for their kids as a refreshing companion of during recess.

    Simply cut Jack ‘n Jill Wafrets into smaller pieces and combine it with milk, ice cream, and sugar. Place the mixture in a blender and blend until it’s smooth and creamy. Garnish the milkshake with a stick of Wafrets and enjoy!

    Wafrets Shake

    Dewberry Ice Cream Cake

    After a productive session at school, adults can reward their little ones with this yummy dessert using Dewberry.

    To make this, put crushed Dewberry into a bowl. Add a quarter (1/4) cup of melted butter and mix well. Once done, press the mixture into a greased pan — this will be the crust of the ice cream cake.

    Next, spread vanilla ice cream over the crust and let it freeze for two (2) hours. Before serving, drizzle some chocolate syrup and add some Dewberry crumbs. This fruity cake would surely be a hit for kids at home.
