Baking with Children
I was at a play group a little while ago and was discussing baking with children and how frustrating and messy it can be. When I’m baking I just like to get it done but the kids love to help. So what I do is I set up a bowl for each child and one for me. Then I set out smaller bowls of cherrios, puffed wheat or oatmeal that the kids can use as their ingredients and I give them spoons to mix their ‘baking’. This keeps them busy with their own individual baking projects while I get mine done. Plus, they can eat their baking right away instead of waiting to eat the real baking before it’s cooked.
