Little Bakers Kids Cooking Journal & Activity Book – Printable (Ages 6–12)

What you get

Turn snack time into a cooking lesson. Little Bakers is a printable cooking journal and activity book for children ages 6–12 who want to help in the kitchen. It teaches safe habits, measuring and kitchen math, gives them real recipes to make with a grown-up, and leaves plenty of space for their own recipe ideas.

Every recipe is simple and family-friendly. Oven, stove, blender and sharp-knife steps are clearly marked as grown-up steps, and each recipe has an allergy note and a line for your own family notes.
