    40 ways to get kids involved & eating at teatime

    21 September 2014 by BritMums

    How do you get back into teatimes routines with your family during back-to-school season? At our #afterschoolchefs Twitter party, mums shared how they make teatimes easier and how the kids get involved. You told us what your children enjoy eating and how you get them helping in the kitchen.

    The #Afterschoolchefs party was sponsored by Birds Eye. Birds Eye understands that teatimes can be stressful. Birds Eye provides busy parents with helpful solutions, including its classic peas, chicken dippers, fish fingers, waffles and more.
