The recipes below are child proof! They have been prepared and eaten by the classes I taught, and the children loved them. Most are simple enough so that your child can easily assist you in the preparation. Talk about the ingredients, talk about the math (a half cup or a quarter cup), and share with your child your favorite recipes as well. Have fun, and let your child get messy! Again, taking pictures for your child’s “Summer Book” will only add to the fun and the memories!
