Safe Tasks for Kids

Finding safe, easy and helpful kitchen tasks for kids will make them feel like they did their part to make dinner magic happen. Shredding lettuce? They’ve got it. Washing fruits and veggies? You bet. Other jobs kids could do in the kitchen are measuring, stirring dry ingredients, separating eggs, whisking, frosting a cake, helping assemble a pizza, and of course taste-testing.

Try Homemade Bread

Nothing smells better and is more fun and messy than making fresh bread with your kids. Both big and little ones get to measure all the ingredients and squish them together in a resealable bag. Let them take turns kneading the dough, then practice patience as they wait for it to rise, bake and cool. This is a great time for bonding and teaching them about cooking. Before you know it, they might be making you dinner!
