Being able to cook is a valuable life lesson that kids should learn.  Have you put off teaching your kids to cook because you’re not sure where to start?  Are you unsure about how to teach your kids to cook?

Cooking 101 for Kids was written by my friend Lynn of Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures.

The eBook covers how and what to teach your kids.  It includes pictures of kitchen tools and ingredients to help them learn.  It also includes links to videos that you and your child can watch.  The videos show her kids performing basic cooking tasks.

The last part of the book contains kid friendly recipes that are easy to make.

A few weeks ago I spent the morning organizing my pantry. It was a big job and most of the kids helped finish the job.

I started getting frustrated during the process because I realized that in a few weeks it would need organizing again. Then I remember something I did several years ago when my children were small.

Labels!

Yes, I know what you are thinking… but remember I have seven children and most of the time my brain is mush, so I had forgotten the beauty of labels.

I quickly sat down at my computer and created labels for the pantry shelves.

Since I still have a few nonreaders in my home I also added some basic clip art to the labels too.

With the labels on the shelves my children have no excuse for not putting things away correctly in the pantry.

My friend Joy has helped me create some printable labels for you to use in your pantry. There are two different sizes of labels.

The small labels can print on Avery labels. (Sizes 8162, 5162, 5262, 5962, 8162, 8252, 8462, 8662, 48462, 48862, 88662, 15662, 18662, 5662)

The larger labels (works better for wire shelves) are about the size of business cards and I recommend printing them on card stock and cutting them out.
