That's fun! My kids were recently at a friend's birthday and they had all the kids at the party decorate their own cupcakes. They loved it!
Quoting LuLuRex:My son likes to help me make cupcakes. He likes to add the frosting and sprinkles :)
My kids loved to bake with me when they were little. Now they're old enough to make their own brownies and cupcakes!
baking is how we taught fractions and measures to our kids when they were little
I think it's so much fun to have the kids help out in the kitchen!

It is easy we had measuring cups out and would have them dump on a waxed sheet or into bowls things like one cup flour and then show them with the other cups how many it would take to make the same again. We had a small scale and they loved to make the sides balance. Liquid measures make adding things fun and we often made homemade pizza dough and divided it in fractions like 1/8, 2/4, 1/2, 8/8 or One whole it made cooking dinner fun for us all and I have to say all my kids are great cooks.
Fractions can be so frustrating for kids, this is such a brillant way to make it fun!
