Bake with dad
Sharing one bowl means sharing turns, and that is the part of baking that usually goes wrong first. The pictures below split the recipe into steps so each turn and the oven wait are visible before the flour comes out.

About this visual support
Baking together looks like a calm activity and rarely is one. Two people reach for the same bowl, one wants to pour while the other is still weighing, and the dough has to rest exactly when patience is thinnest. Add hands covered in butter and the moment for explaining the order has already passed.
A visual support turns the recipe into a chain that both of you can point at. Each step gets its own card, and turns can be marked before anyone opens the flour: dad measures, child pours, dad stirs, child shapes. For baking in particular, give the waiting its own picture with the oven time on it. The gap between putting the tray in and taking it out then belongs to the recipe instead of feeling like empty time that has to be filled with something else.
In Routined you can build the recipe as a sequence of pictures with a timer for the oven, so the child can see how many steps are left. The app has a 14-day free trial, and the pictures on this page are free to download.
