Do You Know Recipes My 4-year Old Can Help Me Make?

Rice Crispy Treats, the recipe is on the box or online.

I always loved baking with my mom. There weren’t any hot surfaces I could get in trouble with besides the oven, and I kept my distance. With baking you can let your child measure ingredients and dump them in the bowl. It can also be used as a teaching opportunity for counting and basic measurements. Just be mindful of their fingers if you’re using a mixer.

Ingredients
4 eggroll wrappers
1 slice cheesecake
4 tablespoons pineap ple chunks (from a can that a grown-up opens)
1 tablespoon powdere d sugar
Steps
Put the eggroll wrappers on a plate that can go in the microwave.
To warm up the wrappers, set the microwave for 10 seconds and push start. Wait until the plate cools off before touching it, then take it out of the microwave.
When the wrappers are cool enough to pick up, put 1 wrapper on a nice dinner plate.
Scoop 2 big spoonfuls of cheesecake and put it in the center of the wrapper.
Put 1 tablespoon of pineapple chunks on the cheesecake that is on the wrapper.
Fold over the edges of the wrapper to cover the cheesecake and pineapples.
Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of powdered sugar on top and serve to mom with a fork.
Repeat steps 4 – 7 to make 3 more blintzes.

Make PB&J or cheese sandwiches and let them cut them into fun shapes with a cookie cutter.
