While the dough was rising we made frosting. The kids took turns kneading (or punching) the dough with their clean fists.
The older child used a knife and they all learned how the wrapper on butter/margarine is a tool to measure Tablespoons. I taught them to stir slowly and to stir the ingredients that found their way to bottom and sides of the bowl as well.
MY DISNEY KITCHEN LONGPLAY HOW TO
Then we talked about how to use a measuring cup and each child got to use one multiple times during the day. I told them that the milk the yeast is mixed into needs to be over 100 F, so they learned how to use a thermometer. They all got to take part in this fun process… My kids had a play date with a family in the neighborhood (ages 4, 6, & 8) so I asked them if they wanted to spend the rather long play date we had arranged making cinnamon rolls, and they were so excited to!Īll ages (2, 4, 6, & 8) learned something new. It was quite the process and I was entertained for hours as I watched the dough rise, made frosting (I got to lick the beaters), rolled the dough out, used dental floss to cut them, and finally enjoyed how yummy they tasted! I decided I’d teach my kids how to use kitchen tools by making this Copycat Cinnabon Recipe. Thinking back on using kitchen tools as a little girl, I realized that my fondest memories were when my mom and I would make cinnamon rolls together. I know I did the same when I was a child. My son LOVES to get into the kitchen tool drawer and use the wisk and other items he’s seen me using. While they are still in the age of mimicking and learning from you by example, (2-12 years old or so), I find that it is a great time to teach children to use kitchen tools. My daughter loves to follow me around and do what I do: cook, try to put on my jewelry, she pretends to use my make up, etc. My son observed me using a screwdriver and tape measure and now whenever he gets his hands on them he always pretends to use them in a similar fashion. Most kids love to participate with and mimic their parents.
