Baking with kids is a fun and exciting activity that can help cultivate their creativity & curiosity, but it sure can be daunting & messy.
The thought of ingredients (flour & sprinkles 🤦♀️) flying everywhere, the possibility of someone burning themselves or breaking something plus the added mess can make us question our choices.
Have you ever started baking with your kids and a few minutes later thought - what was I thinking? 👋 🤦♀️Please don't let this hold you back. Baking is a wonderful way to bond with your children.
Plus, the sense of pride & accomplishment they feel when they take their baked goods out of the oven is priceless.
To make the experience more enjoyable you could:
🧁start with simple recipes that are easy to follow
🧁make sure to set some ground rules before starting, such as washing hands, wearing aprons, and not touching the oven. 🔥
🧁And remember, it's okay to make a mess - it's all part of the fun! 🤪
So, don't let your baking fears get in the way of creating special memories with your little people. Grab some ingredients, turn on the oven, and let the baking adventure begin!

The mess was soooo worth it.
