My daughter loves to help me bake things. She is so proud when we serve whatever it is she helped with.
The other week she informed me that she wanted to make a pie. It was a super busy week, so while at the grocery store I let her just pick out a Graham Cracker crust and some instant Jello Pudding & Pie Filling.
She came home and made a very yummy Oreo pie – made even more special because she did it all by herself! She just beamed when she served it after dinner.
She has gone on to make a lemon pie and a chocolate pie with future plans of trying the banana one. Sure this pie doesn’t have a flaky, homemade crust and fresh ingredients, but it was the best pie I’ve ever eaten because I knew that with each bite I was building my little eight year old’s self confidence and self esteem.
So, if you have a little daughter, maybe it’s time you let her make an “I Made it Myself” Pie. It’s as simple as purchasing a Graham Cracker crust and a box of Jello Pudding; mixing with milk (pie directions on side of box); pouring the mixture into the ready-made pie shell; and refrigerating. It’s so easy, she won’t need any assistance.
