home made pizza is my personal favourite for teaching the kids to cook. Scones are another good one, they can really get stuck in and eat their creation at the end. Cutting the scones into animal shapes makes it even more fun.

Picking up their toys is the first chore I teach my kids. They love it, and my boys have so much fun tidying their bedroom then showing me the result. I have to say they are much tidier than I was as their age, but they do earn pocket money for their efforts.
