Baking

There is some­thing so entic­ing about bak­ing for kids. They seem to find so much enjoy­ment out of the process that it really doesn’t even mat­ter what the final result is. In our case though, these muffins were divine!

The most impor­tant step though is prepa­ra­tion. I like to use box mixes when I am bak­ing with my kids because of the sim­plic­ity. Things don’t need to be mixed a cer­tain way or for a cer­tain period of time.

I present the bak­ing activ­ity by plac­ing all the nec­es­sary ingre­di­ents on the table.

Since there are two kids they will have to learn to share so that they both get to do the activ­ity together. (They bat­tle with this.)

Deen throws half of the mix into the bowl and then gives Aaliya a turn to throw the rest in.

The last time I baked with the kids was months ago and I don’t think Aaliya even remem­bers it.

Aaliya throws in the water.

Deen adds the eggs into the bowl.

Some­one put in the oil but I can’t remem­ber who.

Aww see how nicely they are mix­ing the ingre­di­ents together?

Yip, they even shared the leftovers!

And this smile is proof that this was an activ­ity well done.
