Let them…..cook

Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do y’all! I’ve heard all about how sensory play is good for kids, but don’t have the time or patience to clean up the messes it makes. So what do I do when I’m trying to cook and my kid wants to help? I give her Rice Krispies or another cereal and let her have some kitchen tools and let her go! She doesn’t ever want a regular bowl either, it has to be a mixing bowl and has to be big mixing spoon. Thankfully we have a dog so the meds gets cleaned up by the pups so there’s minimal mess when she’s done.

So this is my version of sensory play for the lil toddler and it makes her think she’s helping while I’m cooking and baking in the kitchen!
