Toddler in the kitchen tip –My little one isn’t ready to scoop and measure ingredients yet but he loves to dump. I pre-measured everything and put them in small plastic mixing bowls so he could dump them in at the right time (I put the salt and baking soda in with the flour and the cinnamon in with the sugar.) I also let him crack the eggs. He said that was "SO FUN"! Just make sure you add the eggs first so you can scoop out any shells bits. 

The bread tasted great, the house smelled amazing for hours and making it with him was a blast.
