Did you know that September 13th is Kids Take Over The Kitchen Day!? That sounds like a great creative family date idea to us! SOO… we’ve put together everything you need to have your own Kids Take Over the Kitchen Day Family Date! {Gosh, you’re totally welcome!}
This little apron was a perfect surprise for my little chefs! Plus – it was SO easy to make. Picked up some Fabric Iron-On Transfer Paper and a few Small White Aprons. I printed out the flipped design on to transfer paper and ironed it on to the apron. Done!! Really – it was so easy and I couldn’t be more happy about the way they turned out!
A few days before our family date we sat down together and planned the menu and the shopping list. Some of the items we had and some we didn’t. I dumped all three kids into one shopping cart and off we went with their shopping list. Some call me crazy – some call me mom! 🙂
Here is the little invitation I gave to the kids to introduce the idea. Most of my little ones can’t read very well yet, so I gave it to them at bed time and we read all about it. {That’s a picture of the yummy smoothie they made for dessert. Pretty darn good, guys!}
Time to Cook They LOVED picking out the menu and making dinner! As you can imagine all of the dinner items were very kid friendly! We feasted on chips & salsa, quesadillas and blueberry smoothies. I added the green pepper to my plate just so I could feel good about myself. 🙂
This is what happens when your 2 year old doesn’t put the top of the blender on tight and smoothie goes all over the kitchen. Cautionary tale. Don’t worry, he recovered quickly and started licking smoothie off the counter. Yummy!!
We had a blast! The kids loved being in charge and making all of the choices. My husband and I loved seeing them work together. All in all – a GREAT family date night! Now it’s your turn!
