Happy National Cookie Day! Easy Ways Nannies Can Get Kids Involved in the Kitchen 🍪
National Cookie Day is a great reason to gather the kids in the kitchen for some baking fun! As a nanny, one of the best ways to bond with your little ones is through hands-on activities like baking. It’s not only fun, but it’s also an opportunity to teach kids new skills, share traditions, and create delicious memories. Here are some easy ways to involve children in baking while keeping it safe and enjoyable!
Ways Nannies Can Get Kids Involved in Baking:
Choose Simple Recipes: Start with kid-friendly recipes like sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, or even no-bake treats. These recipes are easy to follow and don’t require complicated steps, making them perfect for little hands.
Let Kids Help Measure Ingredients: Measuring ingredients is an excellent learning opportunity for kids. Nannies can help teach basic math skills like counting and measuring, while giving children a sense of ownership in the process.
Mixing and Decorating: Once the dough is ready, let kids help with stirring and shaping the cookies. When it comes to decorating, provide frosting, sprinkles, and other fun toppings, and let the kids get creative!
Safety First: As a nanny, it’s your job to make sure the kitchen is safe. Keep sharp objects and hot trays out of reach, and encourage the kids to wash their hands frequently.
Baking cookies is a great way for nannies to bond with children while teaching them important skills. Whether it’s National Cookie Day or just a weekend baking session, it’s a fun way to make memories and share a sweet treat at the end! What’s your favorite cookie recipe to make with the kids?
