Fall Recipes for Kids to Make

One of my favorite things to do with kids is to bring them into the kitchen and bake with them. It’s tasty! It’s fun! Plus it sneaks in some math, science, and reading.

Fall makes these moments even more special by adding fall ingredients like apples and pumpkins.

Cooking in the fall with kids can be a fun and educational experience.

Here are a few ideas:

  • Use fall ingredients to make seasonal dishes, such as pumpkin pie, apple crisp, or roasted squash.
  • Teach kids about the different types of fall produce and how to use them in cooking.
  • Let kids help with simple tasks, such as measuring ingredients or stirring the pot.
  • Talk about the history of fall foods and how they are used in different cultures.
  • Make a meal together and then enjoy it as a family.

Cooking with kids can help them learn about different cultures, math, science, and more. It’s also a great way to spend time together and create lasting memories.
