Great post! And thanks for being real about the fun AND challenges of baking with kids. I have a 3 and 7 year old, and I've also baked a lot with groups of kids at our co-op preschool. The other tips I'd add to your list are (1) don't bake hungry (give a snack first); (2) give kids choices about what task they want to do (in our house, one of us scoops the sugar, the other one levels; etc.); (3) incorporate guessing games about ingredients (taste a little flour and ask what it is; smell vanilla; etc.). Those are wonderful suggestions! "Don't bake hungry" is especially important - make sure EVERYONE has had a snack (adult included!). Thanks for sharing! -Allison
