It was messy and flour got everywhere. The pizzas didn't look restaurant quality but they tasted amazing to him. He loved choosing his own toppings and pressing the dough. We're definitely making this a weekly thing.
Messy is the best part. My 4yo and I did cookies last month and the kitchen looked like a flour bomb went off. But she talks about it constantly. Those are the memories that stick.
This is exactly what parenting with a 4yo should look like. Who cares if they don't look perfect? They tasted amazing and your kid made them. That's the whole point right there.
Messy kitchen means happy memories later. We do this with all three of mine and yeah it's chaos but those are the afternoons they talk about for months.
This is the stuff that matters though. Four year old covered in flour having the time of his life is worth way more than perfect looking pizza. Did he eat his entire slice?
Homemade pizza with the kids is where it's at. Yeah they look rough but honestly the fact that he helped make it makes him actually eat it. Restaurant quality is overrated.

The taste matters way more than the presentation when you're doing this stuff together. And honestly she'll remember making pizza with you more than she'd remember a perfect store-bought one.
Best parenting move right there. Let them be messy, let them experiment, let them be proud of the result. Restaurant quality is boring anyway.
