Cooking with the kids

The boys are getting creative this afternoon with some play cooking. There isn't much that will keep both of them quiet and entertained at the same time but this seems to do the job, especially if you take away the TV as an option. 

I set up a tray with a bowl and spoons, some dried pasta, lentils, kidney beans and spaghetti and a squeezy bottle of coloured water. I have added vegetable peelings to the trays as I have prepared dinner. 

They have been quietly cooking away for nearly hour. This is one of those elusive 'motherhood win' moments!
