5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Recipies, March 28, 2007

This review is from: I Made It Myself!: Mud Cups, Pizza Puffs, and Over 100 Other Fun and Healthy Recipes for Kids to Make (Paperback)

I bought this for my six year old step-daughter when she started showing an interest in helping me cook family meals. She was thrilled to have her own cookbook. There are so many recipies in this book that even the pickiest eaters will find things that they want to make. The first recipie my step-daughter made was the ice cream cone cupcakes. They were easy for her to make with very little help and they were very good!

There are a great varity of recipies, many of which don't require much or even any cooking and many others which are for older kids or younger ones with some help. All the recipies my step-daughter has made have been fun and tasty.

I run an after school program. I got this book for one of my staff who loves to do cooking projects. The kids love the recipes. They are easy to make and for the most part, healthy. The recipes are a hit with kids. they are very kid friendly. If you have children or work with children or have children to give gifts too, this is a good book to get. Enjoy
