I made the pizza dough earlier in the day. Little Chef A used her new rolling pin to roll it out into a rectangle. The rolling pin worked amazingly well.  She completed this task very easily and quickly.

I’m actually really disappointed in these knives. They are made for kids, but we haven’t found anything yet they cut through. The Little Chefs were basically tearing the pepperoni apart. I even tried it and found it very difficult.

  Each Little Chef had their own technique of folding, pinching or rolling.

 finished-3885805   I made a quick pizza sauce to dip the pizza rolls into. The Little Chefs couldn’t have had a better meal. They love finger foods and they love to dip. Any sauce for some reason helps them eat so much better. They were even excited to finish them off the next day. Now that’s a winner! Something they want to eat two days in a row!
