Started making pizza from scratch with the kids every Friday night. My 6yo and 8yo help with the dough, toppings, everything. Its messy and chaotic but they actually eat vegetables when they pick them and my wife and I get to hang out in the kitchen together. Plus the pizza tastes amazing. Highly recommend if youre looking for something easy that the whole family can do.
Pizza night with the kids is such a vibe. Your 6yo must love getting their hands in the dough. We do taco night but I'm stealing this idea - pizza is way more fun to make together.
Building traditions like this early is huge. At 6 and 8 they're at the perfect age to actually help and get invested in it.
Pizza from scratch is such a good move. We do it every couple weeks and my 6yo is getting really into stretching the dough. These are the moments they remember.
Every Friday is the commitment level I love to see. How long does the whole thing take you? My worry is always getting dough ready for multiple kids at once.
This is great because they're learning a real skill and they'll actually eat what they made. Win-win. How do you handle the toppings debate? I feel like that would get messy in my house.
Started doing this exact thing last month and my kids went from picky eaters to wanting seconds. Turns out when they help make it they're way more invested in eating it. Smart move making it a real tradition.
Seriously underrated parenting move right here. You're building memories and they're learning something. Plus homemade pizza is legitimately better than anything frozen.
This is perfect. My kids remember every Friday pizza night way more than the times I just handed them something to eat. They're learning skills AND having fun. Win-win.

This is such a good idea. We do soft pretzels from scratch and it's become the thing the kids actually look forward to. Pizza would be amazing for involvement too since they can customize their own.
