- Collect all ingredients called for in the recipe (muffins, cakes & biscuits are the easiest to execute with children)
- Gather the correct measuring cups & spoons
- Have two large bowls handy - one for dry ingredients & one for wet ingredients
*TIP: If you are baking in a classroom environment, keep an extra bowl on hand for dirty utensils that will not be reused - cleanup will be MUCH quicker! - Follow the directions & read everything aloud
as you measure the ingredients out so the child/children are able to
learn the basic essentials of baking in a sequential steps of order both
through audio & visual.
*TIP: When teaching children to bake, measure EVERY ingredient out exactly - help them learn the basic foundation of baking (fractions & mathematics).
*TIP: If you plan to do the activity out of the kitchen, place everything on a tray.
*TIP: To protect against cross contamination, use clean measuring utensils for each ingredient.
Happy Baking :)

At first I would not let the children touch the things in kitchen but slowly I taught them how to bake cakes and many other small things they can easily do alone.
The article was up to the point and described the information very effectively. Thanks to blog author for wonderful and informative post.Abcya || Y8 || Friv
