Hi everyone!
My son is 19 months old and he absolutely loves spending time in the kitchen with me. And by "spending time" I mean cooking. He loves it too much, actually! He throws a fit every time I don't let him stir the pancake batter, cut the carrots, knead the dough or make meatballs, for example. And it gets worse if I allow him to do those things, because he doesn't want to stop. I want to cook the dish, but he just won't let go. It's a big drama...
I really want to get him involved in the kitchen and I'm trying to think about what he can do. Up until now I've only given him dough to knead, but that doesn't seem to interest him much.
I guess this may sound a bit crazy, but do you have any ideas for real things he can do with me in the kitchen? He wants the real deal, not play-dough options:/ I will be really thankful for any suggestions!
