Can You Use One Of The KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixers For Crafts?

Now you really think I have lost it. How can one of the KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixers possibly be uses in doing crafts with the kids? I do not blame you, but surprisingly it is possible.

To be hones with you this though only entered my mind this Friday as my granddaughter visited us. She wanted to do some baking and as luck would have it I had a packed for vanilla muffins in the house.

For this pre-mix you need to measure some oil and water and mix it with two eggs before adding it to the muffin mix. Then you had to mix it for 2 minutes on medium with an electric mixer and, of course, this is where on e of the KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixers comes in. It is and ideal mixer to use for this purpose.

Now what does this have to do with crafts you ask me? Well there are quite a bit of stuff your kids can do helping you to bake these muffins.

First of all my grade one granddaughter was able to measure all the ingredients. Then she was able to mix it, add it to the muffin mix, switch on the mixer and time the two minutes.

Then once the dough was ready, she was able to spoon the dough into the muffin tines that she has already prepared with cooking spray. So, as you can see there was quite a lot she could do during this baking session and that is why baking should never be ignored as a craft for our kids.
