Lily and I decided to try out hand at baking with our NEW KIDS KITCHEN recipe cards... These are one of my new favorite Barefoot Books purchases,,,,
I LOVE all the recipes in this deck of cards,, they are all kid friendly, vegetarian and HEALTHY,,,, I think the kids at school are going to try and make some as well for a friday afternoon snack,,,
I especially LOVED this carrot cake recipe because it kept Lily interested and INVOLVED which is the name of the game when cooking with children.
Some of the things she was able to participate and help in were
Measuring and pouring the ingredients.
Shredding the carrots ( with supervision of course )
Once carrots were shredded she put them in the big bowl and helped mix with ingredietns.
She also added the separate ingredients one measuring cup at a time.
PARENTS TIP : If you measure everything out in advance,, the children can pour the ingredients in one at a time upon your direction.
If the children are older they can pretty much read the cards themselves and you could just supervise,, either way,, all ages can have fun in the kitchen !! Especially with these fun cards,,,,
Here are a few pics from the project....
