Kid Friendly Recipe Book

In preparation for the new school year I decided to gear a lot of our activities towards my children's strengths.

One of my ideas is to appeal to Jaden's perceptual abilities, so I am working on a recipe book with pictures. They all love to cook and I want to empower them!! I remember the first time Ashley made sugar cookies without my help. She felt amazing! Now she makes us dinner and is so pleased with herself.

My goal...keep it simple and visually appealing!

Here's a sample of one of the recipes:
I got these color coded measuring cups from Amazon:

UPDATE: Those didn't work so well, so I got these which are made for the low vision cook....

Frozen Treat Cozy

I've been meaning to share the first project from our sewing class. You guessed it....Frozen Treat Cozies (actually for GoGurts).



These were way easy and quite a hit around here!
