I know, it’s been months since I’ve taken part in Kids in the Kitchen. It’s been crazy trying to get everything caught up and dealing with moving my blog to a new server. I tried to hold out on new posts as long as I could during that process (which took nearly one month!)
Every time we go down the canned fruit aisle at the store, Little Man BEGS me to get him Jello. I always tell him we have some at home and we just need to make it. Well finally I gave in and let him make some Jello for dessert for the whole family.
He loved that he could practically make this whole dessert by himself. The only thing he didn’t do was deal with the boiling water. No way was I going to allow a 4-yr old to do that! He poured both boxes of Jello into the bowl and stirred everything up himself, though.
He was so proud that he could tell his Dad, Brother and Sister that HE made dessert that night.
Did you have fun in the “kitchen” this week? Did you try a new food or a new kid friendly restaurant? Did your little ones use their snacks to count to 10? We invite you to share your experiences, photos, stories or recipes that include your #kidsinthekitchen!
Come join me and my co-hosts, Melinda at Look What Mom Found, Sara at Sensibly Sara, Lisa of HooplaPaloooza and Sarah of Play2LearnWithSarah, each week by linking up a post, new or old, that features the theme Kids in the Kitchen.

Don’t have a blog? That’s ok! Just share an Instagram photo or Facebook update.
Fun!
How fun, I think it is a lot of fun for kids to take part in making stuff, they seem to get super excited about it!
Ahhh, the simple pleasures in life. It really doesn’t take much to make them happy, does it?
It’s fun how kids like to eat foods more when they prepare them. I love that you are involving your kids.
I just had M in the kitchen today making chocolate covered strawberries. Best moments ever! Can’t wait until she can eat jello 🙂
How fun! Trudy would not be able to resist making a huge mess. 🙂
So cute! Sometimes there is nothing better than a little Jello and Cool Whip!
My kids would have so much fun making this!
I love getting the kids in the kitchen and doing these fun things 🙂
Love the segment. My daughter LOVES to cook and bake with me in the kitchen. Nothing new for us this week but we did do some crafts.
Believe it or not, I have never attempted at making Jello myself. I always bought it already made, lol. 🙂
My 4yo has been nagging me to make the Jell-O mix that has been in the pantry for over a month.
I think it’s about time we made some jigglers in my house. Sort od close to the gummy worms my daughter is obsessed with this week.
My kids just made some jello the other day and left my kitchen in a HUGE mess, lol. It was little jiggliies all over the floor, table and counters, what a mess.
My daughter loves JELLO but we rarely make it.
He looks so happy!! We never make JELLO, maybe we should! 😉
What a fun linky idea! And I love that your son got to make dessert all by himself! Maybe next time he can make Jell-O pudding, so there’s no boiling water 🙂
What a fun idea to include kids in the kitchen.
My boys would cook with me everyday if I let them, but not sure my patience could make it everyday. Maybe we will try making some jello tomorrow.
My 4yo keeps nagging me to make the Jell-O pack we have in the pantry. I keep putting it off.
My kids are always begging me to let them help out in the kitchen. This would be a great thing for them to make on their own.
I haven’t made jello in years! I need to make some!
I cannot believe I have not made it yet with my son! On my to do list!
Look at that proud little grin on his face. What an easy way to let a little one help!
How fun! You can’t go wrong with jello.
Isn’t it great how awesome Jello is to make? I’m glad your kids had a good time!
All kids (of all ages) love Jello! I really need to start taking photos when my son helps me in the kitchen. 🙂
I haven’t made Jell-O in so long although I have boxes and boxes of it in my pantry! Sheesh, gotta get on that some time 🙂
fun!!! I used to LOVE making jello when I was a kid!!!
My kids love cooking and baking. The little ones are always so proud of the food when they make it plus I find it helps picky eaters to try more by making it.
It’s always so much fun to get the children involved in the kitchen.
My family loves Jello!
What a great idea! My son would love to help me make jello.
my kids love making jello and blue jello is their favorite but we usually put red fishy’s in there lol
We haven’t made Jello in forever, but definitely should. My toddler son would love to be the helper too. 🙂
It’s been a long time since I made jello too. I think my kids would like the blue jello with whipped cream.
