Tips & Warnings

• Choose recipes that are at your child's level. For a young child, participating in making a recipe from scratch may be to long. Depending on the age of the child, you might want to make the mix ahead of time and let your child do the really "fun" stuff.
• Be careful when pulling pans out of the oven, they do get hot!
