I started cooking with my kids when they were quite young. Even if a toddler can’t make an entire recipe on their own, they can do plenty to help prepare meals and snacks. Cooking with toddlers is a great way to bond, and learn simple concepts like measuring and counting. If you have multiple kids, then they can practice taking turns. You can also incorporate language skills into these toddler recipes as kids talk about what they are doing. These 15 Toddler Recipes to Make Together will get you guys having fun in the kitchen, but don’t stop here. Anytime you are cooking, such as when you are making these Spinach Muffins, invite your toddler to help out in some small way. I have made all of these recipes with toddlers so it is possible to cook with toddlers and live to tell the tale!

15 Toddler Recipes to Make Together - Cooking with toddlers can be fun and educational. Here are some easy recipes to make with kids that have all been kid tested and approved!
