Inside: Cooking with kids can be fun when you have easy and delicious recipes! This collection is filled with favorites that can be done at home or in the classroom!
Cooking with kids might seem a bit overwhelming, but truly, there are a lot of fun and simple recipes out there!
One of my fondest memories as a young mother was cooking with my own children. They loved being beside me at the kitchen counter, measuring, stirring, and pouring.
They are grown now, but I am lucky to have the opportunities to cook with my students in my preschool classroom.
