Focaccia art is the perfect school holiday activity to do with the kids on a wintery day. Simply collect the freshest and brightest art supplies from the Market on any Tuesday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday and get to decorating. The focaccia is super easy to make too; just allow yourself some time to let the dough rise.

You can attempt to steal Nonna’s secret focaccia recipe out of her cookbook if you have the guts but if that idea insights a spark of fear, we suggest checking out a simple recipe here.

This natural beauty comes together once the dough is prepped. Check out our recipe if you’re uncertain on how to prep your dough. Dimple the focaccia, add some olive oil and you’re off!

The world really is your oyster with this one and how you choose to decorate your masterpiece but if you’re looking for a push in the right direction, try making a flower garden with these ingredients:

• Cherry tomatoes
• Kalamata olives
• Parsley
• Basil
• Rosemary
• Thyme
• Capsicum – all colours
• Chilli – all colours
• Red onion
• Garlic
• Spring onion
• Asparagus
• Nuts and seeds

The only limit is your tastebuds so let your kids run wild with their designs.
