KIDFUN Recipes – start with a kid-size apron!

Ya’ never know how an experience may twist and turn when playing with kids. Just hand your child a kid-sized apron and let’s see what kind of concoctions you can cook up in the kitchen! Edible … or, even better, non-edible! Don’t worry about a recipe. Make up your own KIDFUN Recipe,  where the most important ingredient is — FUN! Anything is possible this way!

Here’s what happened in my kitchen. Ryan found a kid-size apron we bought on a trip and she said, “Look Grammy! I’m wearing my apron! Let’s cook!” (Apparently, they do this at her house.) So, she asked, “Where’s the flour?” Hm … I couldn’t find it at first. You can tell how much I bake! And, accidentally, when I pulled it out of the cabinet, I dropped a box of pre-packaged Rasberry Ice flabor Crystal Light. “Grammy, you dropped something.” Hm — Raspberry color. This could be fun! So, Ryan poured the flour in a large plastic bowl. (no measuring cups) … I added the water. She stirred. We added some salt, some oil (you see, IF I measured we would have made play dough!) THEN, that Raspberry mixture came in handy. Our bowl of unmeasured batter all of a sudden got quite beautiful! Pink, then, with more mixture, a beautiful deep raspberry color! Scumptious, right?

I got out some clear plastic drinking cups and we spooned in this “concoction” and now the chef became the server presenting this Yummy Mystery Dish to her daddy and grandpop! Playing pretend was the perfect topping to an unexpected bit of fun in the kitchen!
