Make cinnamon applesauce cut-outs

These are really fun to make and they smell so good! You can use them for tree decorations during the holidays, or treat the dough like clay and make whatever you wish as a decoration for the kid's room or your home. Cookie cutters work great or use blunt scissors to cut out free-form shapes. They are natural air fresheners and will last a long time once they are dry.

    Once you get your children interested in the kitchen, they'll probably want to help you cook. This is a good thing! Helping to make meals will also often soften up even picky eaters into trying new foods, simply because they helped to make the dishes. Don't miss the Junior Chef article with safety tips and simple recipes the kids can make for Mother's Day, Father's Day or just as a special thank-you for parents. These recipes can be made with minimal supervision.
