One of the best learning and sensory experiences for kids is cooking and baking. For this week’s “Cooking with Kids” themed Discover & Explore linky, I’m sharing a few ways we’ve cooked with kids on Buggy and Buddy! (Be sure to link up all your cooking with kids posts at the end of this post.)
Cooking with kids is one of our favorite activities here at home. I absolutely love all the learning that takes place! Lucy, my 5 year old, loves measuring the ingredients on her own and reading the recipes. She’s even starting to understand the concept of fractions. Cooking also provides the perfect opportunity for my 2 year old, Theo, to work on fine motor and verbal skills. He loves stirring all the ingredients and we talk about all the things we’re doing. And the best part is it’s just simply fun! (This post contains affiliate links to Amazon. Thank you so much for your support!)
5 Fun Ways for Cooking with Kids
One of our favorite cooking activities is baking bread! Have you heard of the book Sun Bread
Recently, I shared a recipe for cheese snack crackers. This is the perfect recipe for kids! They love rolling out the dough and cutting out all the shapes with cookie cutters!
It’s also fun to involve you kids in making homemade play dough! It’s a great sensory experience that ends with a fun product to play with!

Another fun fall cooking activity is making your own applesauce. We have a crockpot
