Let’s Make Colourful Golden Veggie Trios 

Picture this, it’s a rainy day and you want to make something together as a family. Our little Golden Veggie Trios are just the thing. These little parcels are perfect to share and delightfully warming. Your children will love the bright colours of the corn and peas, coupled with delicious spices.

Making Golden Veggie Trios becomes a fabulous hands-on experience to get your children involved in. Making each parcel has many steps, so you could make it fun by setting up a production line together with one child filling the parcels and another wrapping them, or pressing down the edges with a fork.
