In this roundup of easy recipes that are perfect for kids, you’ll find dishes like pizza with homemade dough, chicken nuggets made with a breading mix, and cheesy garlic breadsticks.

Before we dive in, let us share some tips that will make your cooking experience easier for you and your kids. 

Make Your Cooking Experience Fun for Your Little Ones With These Tips

As a parent, we tend to stress out when cooking for our children. But remember that your little ones will benefit the most from this cooking, so relax, and let them have a lot of fun. Children love to learn new things, and they can gain valuable skills from your cooking. Keep these tips in mind to make your cooking experience as smooth as possible.

1. Be Patient

This might be the most important tip of all. Kids can be a little impatient when it comes to cooking, so give them some time to try out each recipe. Some of them will be successful right away, while others might need a little more patience. The important thing is that they learn how to cook, and that doesn't happen overnight.

2. Start With Easy Recipes

Kids are often afraid of trying new things, so give them an easy recipe to start with. This way, they’ll be more likely to want to continue cooking. And who knows? They might even end up enjoying cooking more than eating out!

3. Encourage Them to Taste and Compare

Kids love to compare their cooking results with those of others. This is a valuable skill that can help them in the future. Show them how to taste their food, and then give feedback on how they could improve.

4. Keep It Fun

It’s important to keep cooking fun for your little ones. This will make them want to try new recipes and participate in the cooking process. Some easy ways to do this are by using funny lyrics when singing happy songs while you cook, or by having silly contests while.

5. Reward Them

Kids love to be rewarded for their hard work. This is why it’s important to give them feedback after they cook a recipe. Tell them what they did well, and provide some praise along the way. This will help motivate them to keep cooking.

Keep these tips in mind, and your little ones will be cooking like a pro in no time!

Top 5 Easy Recipes To Make With Your Children

Now that you know how to make your cooking session fun and amazing, it's time to get down to the business of making some delicious recipes. Here are our top 10 easy recipes that are perfect for little chefs.

1. Easy Homemade Pizza by Happy Kids Kitchen

Making homemade pizza with your kids is a lot of fun -- and much messier than rolling out dough by yourself! But hey, what's important is that you're cooking with your kids, right? First, divide the dough into small balls. Then let the kids roll out their own pizzas using a small rolling pin. Once they are done, help them prep any veggies they might want to add to their pizza. Finally, set out the toppings and let the fun begin!

2. Homemade Chicken Nuggets by Simply Delicious

To make chicken nuggets, start by breading the chicken in flour, eggs and another layer of flour. Fry the chicken nuggets in batches in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. If you'd like to bake the chicken nuggets, coat them in seasoned bread crumbs instead of flour and bake them for 10-15 minutes at 220ºC/430ºF until golden brown and crispy.

3. Easy Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks by One Little Project

To make easy cheesy garlic breadsticks, preheat the oven to 425F. Roll out a pizza crust and spread melted butter and crushed garlic all over it. For that extra cheesiness, Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top. You can also sprinkle dried oregano on top. Once you're done, cut the cheese-covered crust into equal parts, then bake for about 12 minutes. Make sure that the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden before you remove the pizza from the oven!

4. Easy French Bread Pizza by Two Peas & Their Pod

Making French bread pizza is a breeze -- by using store-bought French bread as the crust, you don’t need to make a pizza dough! This recipe is perfect for bonding with your kids. Be sure to bake the pizza until the cheese is melted- slice and serve warm!

5. Kid's Favorite Butter Cookies by Land O'Lakes

Cookies are delicious, and they are even more so when you make them with your kids! Here are the simple steps to follow, and soon your little ones will be baking cookies just like mom and dad! First, mix together sugar, butter, and egg in a bowl. Then continue to mix in all other ingredients, including sprinkles. Finally, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Once they’re cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature!

There are many delicious recipes that you can make with your children. It is easy to make these tasty treats at home, and they taste just as good as those made by professionals. 

Conclusion

Cooking with your kids is a simple yet fun way to spend time together. With a bit of creativity and a few simple recipes, cooking becomes a fun time and an enjoyable experience that your family will never forget.
