My brother's oldest girl is going to be 13 and she loves cooking and baking. I haven't tried anything of hers yet, but I'm looking forward to it. It's not really a surprise though, because her mother loves cooking. 

If you have a younger child who loves 'helping' you in the kitchen, but you're not quite ready to let them do some cooking yet, a great alternative is to have them try out a cooking game on their phone or tablet. These kinds of games let children have fun making items without making a mess and keeping the family safe.

Once your child is older, and you are comfortable letting them try their hand at cooking, it's a good idea to download some apps with simple recipes for them to try. Another good option is to download apps that have step-by-step videos on them to teach your child how to make the recipe. This helps them to watch and learn before trying it themselves, so they can understand what is involved when you make or bake something.

Finally, there are a few helpful apps that you can download to your child's phone so that they can use them when they are cooking or baking. One of the best options is a cooking timer. Time Timer will be helpful for many tasks, not just cooking. Another good option is an app to take notes. Of course, when all is said and done, your child will want to take a picture of their new creation, so a good photo editor is also an excellent choice to make your child happy.
