One of the best toys ever: Sweet Potato cubes and tongs
Roast sweet potatoes:
Cut into cubes, place in a bowl of water, allow children to play while you wash knife and cutting board.
If children and counter are not soaked, add more water, wash more dishes
When children and entire area are soaked through, drain water.
Add olive oil and S&P, if children add salt it will now be all over their wet hands.
All the better to toss the sweet potatoes with. Toss by hand.
Then after most of the salt has escaped the chubby creases of little hands,
Add baking dish and tongs. (a pair of tongs per child, no other way)
Now you can finish the lunch dishes or sip your tea while they transfer the potatoes to the pan.
This took a good 10 minutes. Big brother put them into baking pan, little brother put back in bowl.
Roast at 400F for 45 minutes, tossing a few times.
