Teaching your kids to bake is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have as a parent. It's not always easy, but kids have a way of making time spent together in the kitchen a lot of fun. Yes, it can also be a whole lot of mess, but that gets better the more they learn their way around the kitchen and the older they get.
The important things are:
· The kids get to learn life skills.
· They find out that baking is not only an art, but a science and it's important to get the ingredients measured correctly or the baking project will be less than successful.
· They get to learn to be organized and practice following through on a task until it's completed.
· Also, children learn to be proud of what they've created and LOVE to eat the results.
· In addition, the house will have that yummy, tasty, loving, cozy smell for hours.
