Mornington Peninsula Chocolates - Junior Chocolatier Class
A school-holidays workshop for kids 6-12 who want to actually make something edible, then eat it. Two hours, one apron, an entire Peninsula afternoon rescued.
Junior Chocolatier is a two-hour hands-on class for kids 6-12 that is genuinely well-designed: the kids mould, decorate and box their own chocolates under a chocolatier's supervision, and they leave with the box actually made by them rather than bought at the front counter. It is exactly what a wet-afternoon school holiday needs.
The class runs multiple times through the Easter school holidays, typically 11am and 2pm slots. Book a week ahead - the rainy-day sessions sell out first. While the kids are in class, the adult-sized version of the cafe at the front of the store is open, which means coffee, a proper mocha, and 90 minutes of peace.
Pair with a short Flinders walk after if the weather clears, or a quick stop at the Pier takeaway if everyone is tired.
