Not only does cooking teach life skills and help to develop a variety of motor and mental skills, it also gives families the opportunity to work together and bond while discovering different flavors and cultures.
The team at Bébé Voyage has put together a series of recipes from around the world for you to explore the globe from your kitchen and make at home with your kids. This week we are traveling all the way to Sweden for a cinnamon rolls recipe that will surely satisfy that sweet tooth!
