98. Bake with the kiddos
Teach the kiddos a useful – and delicious – life skill by baking something together. Start with a simple recipe that lets younger children pour, stir, shape or decorate. Yes, the kitchen might end up covered in flour, but you’ll have a homemade treat and a fun indoor activity to show for it.
