HOBBIES 16 raring2go.co.uk Spark their curiosity: Unusual hobbies for Primary School kids While team sports and dance classes are classic after-school activities, some children find their interests lie in unexpected areas. Nurturing an unusual hobby can help kids develop unique talents and a lifelong love of learning from an early age. For the creatively inclined, art classes or obscure crafts like calligraphy, woodworking or jewellery-making allow children to get hands-on. Those with analytical minds may enjoy strategic board games, puzzles or coding clubs that encourage logic and problemsolving skills. Aspiring explorers could join an archaeology group, astronomy club or get stuck into gardening or beekeeping. Even video gaming, driving simulators or model train building can nurture skills like spatial awareness and dexterity. Historic reenactment societies teach appreciation for our heritage. And for adrenaline-seekers, rock climbing or martial arts make exciting hobbies. The possibilities are endless for channeling a child's inquisitive nature into an enriching passion project. An unusual pursuit provides the perfect opportunity to develop expertise in a niche area from a young age. More importantly, finding their "thing" boosts confidence and self-expression. With an open mind and some gentle guidance, you may just unearth your child's quirkiest hobby - and watch their interests flourish. 23

Using your fingertips, rub in the butter until only fine ‘crumbs’ are left. Mix in the water with a knife. 2. KNEAD Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes (or use the dough hook attachment on your mixer) 3. RISE Lightly grease a mixing bowl with some oil and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rise until it has doubled in size – this should take about 1 hour depending on how warm your kitchen is. 4. SHAPE Heat the grill to medium with a large baking sheet on the top shelf. Knead 2 tsp of the Nigella seeds into the dough and then divide into 6 even pieces (use a weighing scale if you like) and roll into balls. Roll each ball into a thin tear drop shape on a flour dusted surface. Scatter over the remaining seeds and gently roll again to stick them.5. BAKE In batches, carefully lift the naans onto the preheated baking sheet. Grill for 2-3 minutes, turning over halfway until lightly browned, then remove from the oven and top with your topping of choice. This makes 6 portions, 1hr 15 mins preparation and 3 minutes cooking time. You will also need a Mixing Bowl, Tea Towel and a Grill! Ingredients 500g Allinson Very Strong White Bread Flour 1½tsp Billington’s Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar 1 tbsp Butter 7g Allinson Easy Bake Yeast 1½tspSalt 300ml Warm Water 4 tsp Nigella Seeds 2 tbsp Melted Butter Naan pizza bread is the rebel of the pizza world and will transform the ordinary into an extraordinary culinary escapade. Picture this: a soft canvas of pillowy naan, adorned with a selection of vibrant toppings. It is a whimsical journey where East meets West in a cheesy, saucy dance. The naan, with its soft yet slightly crispy personality, takes centre stage for a flavour-packed spectacle. From exotic curry infused sauces to a melody of vegetables and the crescendo of melted cheese, each bite is a passport to a world where tradition and brand new collide. Naan pizza bread: breaking the crust and creating a slice of pure joy! Raring2make! Recipes to make as a family for the family
