Fun & Easy Meals That Kids Can Cook
Kids always want to help in the kitchen, but sometimes it’s more of a hassle than it is help. But it’s important for them to learn and it’s something they will enjoy doing no matter the age.
Every time I walk in the kitchen to make something my 2 year old is dragging a chair across the kitchen so she can see and help. So I had to find some meals that were kid friendly and easy to make with their help.
These are meals that your kids can cook with you and depending on their age some of these kids could even cook basically by themselves.
My kids are 10 and 2, and between the two of them they can make all of these things with a little help from me. Do they make a huge mess? Absolutely yes. But… They have so much fun doing it!
