Teach your children well......with cooking!

Introducing my twin boys, Kai Sylvan & Koda Edon.

They were super young here.

They love to help in the kitchen.

This project was a pizza party! Homemade sauce.

Next time we will make our own dough.

Practice makes perfect for these little chefs.

This is a great starter idea for kids!
