kids in the kitchen
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!)
Kids in the Kitchen: Making Jello
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.

Kids in the Kitchen: Making Jello


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.

    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.

    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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    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.

    He looks so happy!! We never make JELLO, maybe we should! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  17. Jenn says

    October 12, 2013 at 9:43 pm

    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 ๐Ÿ™‚

    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.

  21. Mellisa says

    October 13, 2013 at 2:10 pm

    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.

    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.

    October 20, 2013 at 8:08 pm

    It’s been a long time since I made jello too. I think my kids would like the blue jello with whipped cream.
