Join the Sourdough Club
There’s nothing quite like the smell of homemade bread coming out of the oven, especially when you did all the work to make it. WildBaker’s kit has all the supplies you need to make sourdough at home, including a banneton (baker’s proving basket), dough scraper, recipe, and instructions on how to care for your starter. You will need to use your own pantry ingredients for this one, though. Buy It: Sourdough Bread Baking Kit, $43, Etsy

Win Taco Night with Homemade Tortillas
Add some hands-on fun to your taco night by making your own gluten-free corn tortillas from scratch (and without the added ingredients of store-bought tortillas). This cast iron tortilla press from Uncommon Goods only needs two ingredients to get going: masa corn flour ($2, Walmart) and water. The kit includes a bottle of habanero sauce so you’ll be ready to add spice to your tacos right away. Buy It: Homemade Tortilla Kit, $50, Uncommon Goods
Create a Beautiful Cake
Every time I watch The Great British Baking Show, I have the urge to (attempt to) bake a lavish cake covered with flowers or sculpt one into something realistic (like my cat). Luckily, Wilton makes kits to set you up with all the tools and instructions you need to get started. The kits don’t include fondant or buttercream, but you can easily order it online ($10, Michaels) or make your own. Buy It: Wilton Simple Icing Flowers Kit, $22, Walmart While I lean on baking as a form of self-care, maybe you can as well. Or try ordering a new craft kit to keep you busy at home.
