How To Make Toast Fun For The Kids!
Get the kids in on making their peanut butter toast by putting out a few toppings and letting them put their own toast together. Feeding kids can be challenging, so letting them feel like their making their own choices can prevent a lot of fighting about what to eat.
I even let my kids slice their bananas, with a kid-safe knife of course. While this doesn't seem like a big deal for parents, it really makes little ones feel in control and important. Plus it gets them used to helping cook and before you know it they'll be asking to help!
