The VTech Touch and Learn Activity Desk Deluxe is a great way to stay engaged with a child while doing things around the house like cooking dinner. Depending on what is being prepared in the kitchen, letting the child actually help out with dinner can be very dangerous, however, using this activity desk is a way to let the child be involved without putting them in harms way. There is a page that includes common kitchen items and foods that the child can try and match with what the mother is doing.

Key Takeaways:

• Cooking dinner for your family is tough enough.
• Adding kids to the kitchen only adds to the challenge— here’s how I manage to chop veggies and entertain the kiddos at the same time.
• You have to make something everyone will eat (good luck!) and you’re usually working under a time crunch.
