Joshua and Abigail love to help me in the kitchen. They really WANT to be helpful. But mostly, they make more work for me. Usually, I don't mind because it's a great time to teach them about all sorts of things from measurements and numbers to following directions. Sooo, I usually let them. Or sometimes I'll limit it to just Joshua if Abby is napping. This photo does not do justice to the craziness that generally erupts on my kitchen counters (and floor)...but it does show their joy in helping me bake. (We were making muffins here.)
Do you let your little ones help in the kitchen? Do you have any kid friendly tips or recipes?
Gabe loves to help make his eggs for breakfast, and both boys love to help me bake. I just wish my kitchen was a little bigger for some more room to make more messes with them. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet photo! Such fun times to have kids help bake! I have to remind myself that messes are always easily cleaned up!!!! The memories are sooo worth it!
ReplyDeleteYour sucha good mommy to let them help you cook! What a cute picture!
ReplyDeleteooo they are sooo cute!!! All my kids like to help in the kitchen - but they are so mcuh older now - they actually are a big help. But when they were little like yours - I just cleaned up a little more - it was worth it.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I had one that always loved to help me and still does. Continue to encourage them and soon they will be making meals for you. ;-)
