Everyone to the Kitchen
Once you’ve mastered the menu, next up is assigning tasks to your helpers! For the littlest of hands, we recommend having them stir or add the ingredients. Tip: Don’t be afraid of a little spillage or mess. It’s part of the fun and can always be cleaned up. Have the older kids (or ones you feel comfortable with) chop the ingredients (supervised, of course).
It’s all hands on deck for dessert decorating and plating. This is arguably everyone’s favorite step, so make sure you involve everyone. We recommend setting your kitchen up in a station-like way. This will help keep things organized.
Finally, a good time never started with silence. This is a great job for kids of any age. Before you start prepping the kitchen, have them select their favorite songs and sprinkle in some festive St. Patrick’s Day musts. Bonus if they can make it a green-themed playlist!
It's Easy Being Green
We’re lucky to have Bettys like you! We’d love to see your festive setup and hear about any ideas you and your kiddos came up with along the way. Share all your food pics and tips with us @BettyCrocker, and remember that everyone is Irish today (or whenever you celebrate).
