I also like to encourage it because it is one of the great missing skills in our current culture. If you can cook you are a hero in many circles… or completely perplexing. I guess it depends on the circle. 🙂

Michelle @ The Parent Vortex September 15, 2010 at 12:52 am: I learned how to do fractions while baking with my mom. Once I was in school I struggled mightily with adding and subtracting fractions that were written down on paper and my mom and I went back into the kitchen to re-learn them. Hands on learning makes things so much more relevant!
Mandy @ Living Peacefully with Children September 15, 2010 at 11:58 am: My children love cooking.
Lauren @ Hobo Mama September 16, 2010 at 6:49 pm: I love how children learn without its needing to be forced at all. And I love your carnival!

I have to tell you I had no idea what pikelets were. I was expecting some kind of fish. 🙂 But now that I know, I want to try them. They sound like so much fun to make with kids, particularly as Mikko loves pancakes. I love that you give the “right” directions (with the sifting and the extra bowl to whisk) and then admit you don’t always do that. I’m always ignoring the recipe’s instructions that way. 😉

Deb Chitwood @ Living Montessori Now September 20, 2010 at 7:07 am: I also thought “pikelets” would be some sort of fish! I’m learning at home, too! Great activity – food preparation is always fun and so educational!
