Bake with the Kids!

Are you looking for something fun to do with the kids this afternoon? Bake a batch of warm, gooey cookies. Not only is it a lot of fun to make these sweet treats together, eating them afterward is just as much fun. You'll be surprised how much you can learn about your kid's life in this relaxed, laid-back atmosphere, which brings up a good point.

Probably one of the best and most memorable bonding experiences you can share with your children is preparing a meal or a snack with them. Letting your children help in preparing meals and snacks builds coordination, helps improve math skills and establishes life skills.

Cooking with your kids should be a given. In past days, meal time and meal prep were considered bonding and tribal rituals that brought families and tribes much closer together. In these days families rarely eat at the same time, much less together.
