Easy way to bake with the kids!!

[Rachael]

I cook with the older ones more routinely than I do with the very little ones. For me, I find pre-measuring the ingredients is the key. Then they can add the sugar, etc, to the mixer at the appropriate time.

For cooking ideas which include everyone, think about individual pizza with a English Muffin base. The children can then choose their own toppings before I put them under the grill/broiler to cook.

Then, depending on the parents and their preferences, some children can enjoy this...(One of my older children whose older sister was also in my care but she's now in school, so I know these parents wouldn't object)...https://www.flickr.com/photos/rachael2012/11327387716/
