Do you involve your toddler when you cook or bake?

I do involve my toddler when it comes to baking part! But he always runs away whenever my mixer starts mixing as he is afraid of the churning noise. I get to do the following to train their motor skills too. -to place paper cases into the muffin tins - Scoop the batter into the tins using an icecream scoop (lesser mess) - Add toppings to the cupcakes before baking - If i happen to do frostings, i will get him to pipe 1-2 cupcake to have a feel on how it is to pipe and frost a cake.
