Mini Meatloaf
Kids
Cooking Party
Try mini meatloaves for a fun meatloaf kids cooking
party. Kids will love this hands on cooking project and being able to
eat their finished product.
For this meatloaf kids
cooking party you will want to download a pdf recipe card for each
child that will be at the party. We have two different recipes to
choose from below. This will give them each a chance to follow the
recipe while they are preparing the menu. It is also a good idea to
include an extra one for them to take home, one that won't get messy.
They can impress their own family with what they learned at the cooking
party.
It is also a good idea to write the menu on a sheet of paper hung on
the wall or chalkboard. You can even make this look like a restaurant
menu.
Once you know the number of children coming go through the list of
things needed especially utensils, bowls, etc. If you need extra ask
friends or family if you can borrow some items for a meatloaf kids
cooking party.
