I have always baked with my kids and now I bake with my grandkids. I hope someday to bake with my greatgrandkids.
I think cooking together is a great way to bond and it also creates wonderful memories. I gave my 20 yr. old grandson his first rolling pin at age 12 after he made his first pie from scratch and entirely on his own. He was so proud of that rolling pin!
We live in the country and try to have grandkids stay with us in the summer. It always involves some kind of cooking and baking. I have given them all cookbooks for kids and then more complex ones as the grow older. I believe in teaching children to be self reliant and don't want them to only be able to cook ramen when they are on their own. LOL
