He loves buttons. </p> <p>His big thing is to help crack eggs. Some shells but he loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-bake-with-the-kids-how-do-you-let-them-help#post-1299673 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 14:01:41 +0000 BoogieBea 1299673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They love rolling out dough, but they end up just playing and getting themselves all covered with the flour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-bake-with-the-kids-how-do-you-let-them-help#post-1299667 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 13:58:53 +0000 Running Elley 1299667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let my 14.5 month old help me all the time! I let him carry ingredients from the pantry and he LOVES stirring. It can be messy though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-bake-with-the-kids-how-do-you-let-them-help#post-1299646 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 13:42:00 +0000 autumnlove 1299646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't yet but but my MIL baked cookies with her the other night and she stirred the ingredients...I think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-bake-with-the-kids-how-do-you-let-them-help#post-1299621 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 13:31:33 +0000 mrbee 1299621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I measure out the ingredients into cups and spoons, and let the kids take turns dumping them into the mixing bowl. I also have them smell the spices before we add them, especially when it's a fun smell - ginger, cloves, cinnamon... or even something like coconut flour. Mixing the ingredients together can be hard for them though... plus it can be prone to a lot of accidents. If we're really careful and everything is supervised though, mixing can be a blast.</p> <p>Their favorite part of baking though is kneading! We did it for the first time today, and the kids thought it was fresh playdoh. Didn't expect them to actually knead it properly, but they picked it up pretty quickly!</p> <p>Downside though is that we lost about 10% of the dough in the process! Hope there's still enough for a gingerbread house!!</p> <p>When you bake with the kids, how do you let them help? </p>
