I have been having a good think about this one and it suddenly daned on me. Kids love to get messy and kids love to create but they don't like to wait. So while you are waiting for the cake, the dinner (or whatever it is you have been cooking with your child) to cook, after you have cleaned up you can help them make their own recipe page. You take magazines and cut out pictures of eggs, flour, bowls and spoons etc and get the child to put them in the right order and stick them down onto a piece of paper, make it into a game to see if they can remember what they did and they can write the quantities and the number order (depending on their age) and you can put it in a special folder or their own "recipe book" that way the next time you bake that particular item they can look it up in their own book!
I feel this activity passes the time while waiting for the whatever it is to cook so you don't get the constant "is it ready yet??" and is also a good memory activity.
Have fun!!
