Holiday Cooking with Kids
Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away? There’s no denying it, the holiday cooking season is in full swing. With parents spending more time in the kitchen, keeping the kids entertained is increasingly challenging. Getting children involved with meal preparation and setting the table is a great way to get quality time together as a family, and instill some family traditions. My son started cooking with me from a very early age, and is now quite an accomplished cook himself. I love it when he sends me a text message of a meal he has prepared all by himself.
I just kick-started a new conversation over in the Residence Inn Family Travel Talk Forum, and we’re sharing tips for cooking with kids whether you are cooking at home or traveling this holiday season. The Facebook forum is open to everyone. If you’re not already a member, just request to join.
The Residence Inn Family Travel Talk Forum regularly features tips from 10 family travel expert bloggers from around the country every month, with topics such as traveling with different ages of kids, finding balance in travel, traveling with teens and more. It’s a great place to ask family and travel questions, and connect with other parents with a passion or interest in traveling.
I hope you’ll join this conversation about cooking with kids during the holiday season, and leave a comment on my post in the forum and share your own tips!
I enjoy cooking or baking with my son. 🙂
I have been trying to let go of the control and let the boys into the kitchen more, especially around the holidays.
This is my favorite time of year to cook/bake with my grandsons! They love watching me prepare everything and then they LOVE to do the decorations!
I love cooking with my kids, and now that they are older they are less messy too!
I’m excited to start cooking with my son. He’s only two, so most of it is just about hanging out with mommy and getting messy. But we still have a great time!
I love cooking and baking, and one day I want to bake with my kids if we decide to have any. I think it is a great way to make wonderufl memmories.
I think the only time I am able to get my daughter to cook with me is around holidays or big events! LOL!
I love being able to cook with my daughter! It’s so much fun.
Oh I love cooking, but with kids, I have to prepare for a mess, lol. During the holidays is the best time to have little helpers in the kitchen!
Having the kids help with the cooking is a true treat. Making memories with them is the best part.
