I recently read about a Pancake Pen in a magazine and it sounded like something fun and easy to do with the kids. If you have a tradition of making pancakes on Sunday morning — now you can make cool designs, write your kids names and other things– plus it’s easy enough for your kids to use and not make a big mess. Google “Pancake Pen” and you can find one at a retailer near you.
