    Looking for some easy recipe to make with the kids? I’ve put together this collection of our favourite sweet and savoury recipes that are perfect to make with kids.

    Easy Recipes to Make With Kids. Both sweet and savoury recipes for the whole family. Both regular and Thermomix instructions included.

    My kids have been ‘helping’ (and I use that term very loosely!) in the kitchen since they were babies.  They have grown up helping me to chop veggies, butter their toast, mix cake batters and now consider it to be a regular part of their day.  When it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago, they insisted that that they had to make me a cake (my husband was away for work) and because they were doing it on their own (with VERY close supervision and my  help when it came to hot ingredients and using the oven) they the job very seriously – and yes they did add 100s and 1000s to the icing before mixing it together!

    The end result was a misshapen cake, with chunks missing from where they just had to taste test it, chocolate icing running down the sides and pretty much a whole container of sprinkles poured on top, but they were SO PROUD of what they had made and declared it the ‘best cake ever’.  We used my Nan’s easy chocolate cake recipe, which is really great for kids to make (with a little help of course!) so I decided to share a few other recipes to make with kids to give you some inspiration to get into the kitchen with your little ones.

    Tips for Cooking with Kids

    • Accept that there will be mess – especially if flour is involved!
    • Set out the tools they will need before they get started – eg baking tray, grater, kid safe knife etc.
    • Ask them to read the recipe (where appropriate of course) and talk about the tools you will need for measurement etc.
    • For older kids, you may like to let them get out the ingredients you will need for the recipe.
    • Have fun!

    Ps. You can find more easy recipes to make with the kids in our Family Dinners Made Easy and Freezer friendly Snacks Books – check them out here.

      Yum, these look great. My girls love helping me in the kitchen. They love to help me bake muffins and choc chip cookies, although they eat more choc chips than actually mixing. 😉
