What the Expert Says:

Cooking with kids is a wonderful activity! There's mathematics, following directions, science, cultural traditions, tactile and other sensory stimulation, and so much more! Plus the results are delicious.

Make sure to take proper precautions when cooking with little ones, be prepared for some mess, and then dig in!

Some of the best recipes for kids involve hands on mixing and kneading or decorating. Others are centered around holiday and seasonal themes.

Check out the fun resources I've linked below, especially those from Teaching Tiny Tots--you will never run out of great ideas! Martha Stewart even has a "Cooking with Kids" segment. And do not forget to let us know how it went!

For a slightly different approach, The Science of Cooking on the Exploratorium website has recipes and activities that also include the science behind them:

My favorite thing to bake with my mom when I was a kid is actually a 'no-bake' recipe. "Mom's No Bake Cookies".

As a kid, the hardest part was waiting for them to harden, but the wait was always well worth it. I love these cookies to this day, and am now 'baking' them with my daughter who also loves them.

May your children appreciate them too.
