Easy Recipes for Kids to Make for Mom on Mother’s Day

Take a break from meal prep on your special day. Ask the kids to make you these simple recipes. Be sure to get them kid-safe kitchen tools,  step stools if they’re not yet tall enough for the kitchen counter, and aprons to protect their clothes from spills. Have the Hubby or an older sibling supervise the little ones and assist with the air fryer or other appliances. Have them spoil you – you deserve it! 🙂 This is also an opportunity for them to learn CLAYGO, be familiar with kitchen tasks, and maybe even discover a love for cooking!
