Baking With Kids

There's nothing better Than teaching kids to cook You must be mentally prepared And know how the kitchen is going to look Pouring any liquid Into a measuring cup Should just be done on the kitchen floor It makes mopping a quick clean-up A sifter full of flour Can be as bad as snow storm Keep aim over the bowl Remember, the oven is getting warm Sugar is always heavier Prepare to catch the sack Eggshells are mandatory for first timers That are just learning how to crack Get on your rain gear Cover the counters well Kids always pull the mixer out When they turn and have something to tell Hold the bowl for them As they scoop it all in a baking pan Let them open the oven door Careful they don't burn their little hand Heat from the oven Always brings a, "Wow!" Every five minutes "Is it done now?" Forty five minutes Seems like years to them But next time they bake a cake They will remember when... They made their first one with you
