Baking with your little girls is not only fun but it can also provide the perfect opportunity for some incidental learning to occur (not to mention spending quality time with your little chicks).
The kitchen is a great vehicle to learn reading skills; maths skills; science skills; and don't get me started on the organizational and sanitary skills it teaches. Look at the kitchen as the ultimate science laboratory where you can create and eat your own experiments. What is so wonderful about baking with your children is that without even thinking about it - they will have learned so much. And don't think that this is the end of it! Your kids will see the same concepts they learned about while baking with you in school during science and maths class. However, these topics of science could never have been presented to them in a more delicious manner than you did, and with so much love! Right now, you are probably wondering if I am "two pancakes short of a stack" for advocating you to join your children in the kitchen. All you probably see is the mess that they will make. Okay, they will probably create some sort of mess. But I am way ahead of you. There is more to baking than just getting the baked good into the oven. Teaching kids how to see tasks through and clean up after themselves is an invaluable lesson.

Baking with kids can be one of the best experiences you will ever share with your children. Creating lifelong memories of the luscious baked goods you have prepared as a "team" truly evokes the love that you share.
