It was right after DD2 was born so maybe 2y10m? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-kids-or-you-start-making-breakfast-on-your-own#post-2526886 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 21:10:00 +0000 T-Mom 2526886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 7 yr old started using the toaster oven by herself this year to heat frozen waffles. before that she would get cereal, fruit, etc by herself for her and my DS. I'm teaching her how to use the microwave as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-kids-or-you-start-making-breakfast-on-your-own#post-2526850 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 19:34:24 +0000 Foodnerd81 2526850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just talking to my brother about this. His 4.5 yo does this now if he wakes up before everyone else. My 2.5 yo no way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-kids-or-you-start-making-breakfast-on-your-own#post-2526776 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 14:56:11 +0000 caterw 2526776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2.5 year old can get out cut fruit and a single serving yogurt, (and remove the top). We keep her dishes in a bottom drawer so she can get a bowl or a spoon or whatever she needs. I do supervise her doing this for now because she likes to explore the fridge. Maybe in a few months to a year I could see her getting her own breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-kids-or-you-start-making-breakfast-on-your-own#post-2526441 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 19:13:04 +0000 mrbee 2526441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids are 4 and 6 and they regularly put cereal into a bowl and pour milk over it. It's nice because if no one is around to make them breakfast, they just have cereal and we can sleep in a bit more. Of course though, it goes without saying that they put in more milk and cereal than they need into the bowl! Working on that part...</p> <p>I was probably around the same age when I started making myself a bowl of cereal...</p> <p>When did your kids (or you) start making breakfast on your own? </p>
