Answer 5

Pizza is easy and fun, also spaghetti.

Answer 6

You could make milkshakes or smoothies with them. They could cut up fruit etc and put it in a blender with ice cream and milk and stuff, and then you could blend it up for them =]

Or you could decorate some biscuits with them? maybe buy some biscuits and then let them put icing and sweets and stuff on them?

Hope that helps :) Happy cooking!

Answer 7

Dip fruit and marshmallows in chocolate. They can help you chop up fruits like bananas and  strawberries while you prepare the chocolate. Just make sure the knives they use aren't too sharp or pointy!

Melt some chocolate gently in the microwave (stir it frequently so it doesn't get too hot and go all crumbly), then put the bowl in a larger bowl with a little hot water at the bottom to keep it melted. If it starts to set, microwave it again for a very short burst and stir well. Make sure no water gets into the chocolate or it will go crumbly.

Put it in the middle of the table (covered with something to catch drips!) and use toothpicks or forks to dip with.

Messy but fun, and includes some healthy fruit. Ideally done just before bath time!
