The warmth and good smells, the love that goes into preparing a meal, and sharing at the table make memories that can last a lifetime.

Baking and cooking are more than just kitchen skills; they’re an opportunity to slip in some other kinds of lessons—reading, vocabulary, math, time, following directions, and cooperation. Even the youngest children can learn simple tasks like filling a measuring cup, and older ones can figure out how much milk is needed if you want to double the pumpkin-pie recipe below.

What You’ll Need
  • 5.1 ounce package instant vanilla-pudding mix
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin-pie filling
  • 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping
  • 1 graham-cracker pie crust
