Get Kids Involved

Ages 4-5: Your child can assist by spreading the scrambled eggs, cheese, and salsa over the dough with your supervision.
Ages 6-8: Teach your child how to properly crack an egg and stir the eggs to create scrambled eggs. Once they know how to make scrambled eggs, they can help make breakfast on their own!
Ages 9-11: Supervise them while they prepare the entire recipe. Remember to have them read it twice before beginning the recipe.
Ages 12+: Let them prepare the entire recipe, unsupervised, while you do the happy dance in the corner!
Budget Tips
