The girls wanted to make tortillas. They regularly try to help me cook, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to let them do the cooking once. They got out bowls and spoons, I showed them what to put in and gave them the correct measuring utensil. They did all the measuring, mixing, and rolling. Well, I helped a little on the rolling or the tortillas would have been a bit thick. Then I cooked them. I don't trust my three-year-olds enough to let them near the hot stove just yet. :)
The results were two very proud little girls and a pile of oddly shaped, small tortillas that tasted great.
The different colors were a brilliant idea on my part. This way, the girls knew exactly which tortillas they made and didn't fight over who got to eat what.

How fun! They look very proud of themselves.
Sometimes i let Lindzi add ingredients.. and stir, but that's about it. She usually wants to make a big mess of everything!
Loving the aprons. Looks like fun.
I love their obviously pleased grins:)
Wow, you are so patient! I'm doing good to let my 3 year old sit on the cupboard and watch. :) I won't tell him that your girls have advanced to tortilla-making, or he might be jealous.
That is hands-down awesome. Good job, all!
