For example, when I make roast potatoes, I let them "paint" on the oil, then they sprinkle on the seasonings (I pre-measure it for them so their eager little hands don't accidentally put too much). When they the boys have finished their job, I just toss the potatoes to get the yummy stuff distributed evenly.
And they love to help wash dishes. I fill up one sink with soapy water and the other with plain water. Cole washes, and then Max rinses off the bubbles. I usually have to re-wash some things, but it keeps them busy for awhile while I do other things in the kitchen. Cole is great at this; Max, I have to watch. After awhile he thinks it's more fun to splash the water everywhere instead of rinse off the bubbles. But it's great for a little while!
