What my kids love the most about cooking is to "dump", so I'd have to say that they love using measuring spoons and cups the most.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's second favorite thing is eating raw flour, but we'll just ignore that for now...
My son's favorite part of helping me bake is the mixing. So I'd have to say his favorite tools are the wooden spoon and the whisk! :)

i think the apron itself becuz mommy collects aprons and wears them so to be like mommy rebekah would enjoy one her size.
ReplyDeleteMy 7 year old would pick the apron. She has sat on my cabinet and watched me cook since she was one, and she loves to wear mommys apron and help. My 11 year old would be the recipes because they have all the details from shopping list to clean up. She loves to cook with as little help from me as possible, so this would be a great way to teach her how to shop and make lists as well as cooking. Thanks for the contest!!!
ReplyDeleteMy girls love measuring...then hiding my measuring cups and spoons all over the house...
ReplyDeleteSo, I think they'd love the measuring cups and spoons.
