If you have a toddler, you know how hard it can be to get anything done in the kitchen. You politely escort them out only to have them back in 10 seconds. Maybe your toddler likes just laying down on the floor while you're trying to make dinner!  Toddlers just want your attention, that is their job.  It's easy to make cooking a meal a fun activity for them and it can be a good teaching tool too!  Plus it gives them that essential quality time they crave!
