Holiday Recipes for Kids: Thanksgiving Stuffing

It's just the beginning of the holiday season, which comes with plenty of family, food, and fun.

While we aren't suggesting that your three-year-old roasts the turkey, kids can get involved in different ways.

There are 12 chapters with recipes for different party themes: Luau, Ice Cream Social, Superhero Party and more! Each chapter also includes fun ideas for party activities and decorations too.
