Trusting your kids with important tasks is a sure-fire way to inspire kitchen involvement. Sure, your kitchen might get a little messy when you let them measure the dry ingredients, but this is the perfect task to instil confidence and accomplishment in your little helpers.
Let them crack the eggs, mix the batter and perhaps most importantly, lick the spoon! These kid-friendly steps are not only simple, but great for building their coordination and techniques that will be useful for years to come.
