It wasn't until I became a mother that I learned an important fact about cooking: everything tastes better when it comes in a fun shape.

The Mini Bear Smile Skillet ($18) will assist you in making scrumptious and silly pancakes and crepes that will have your kids begging for seconds. The pan is a great substitute or addition to the cute dollar sized Zoo Animal Pancake Pan we featured a few weeks back.

Do you use shapes to make snacks and meals more appealing for your picky eaters?

If your pancake flipping skills aren't prepared for the animal skillet, you might try the Heart and Daisy or Truck and Airplane pancake molds ($15 each).

Instead of pouring batter into a skillet and braving the flip, you place the mold on the griddle, then pour in the batter and cook until it's safe to remove the molds, flip the pancakes and cook. No more messy pancake slipping and sliding and your tots will go bananas for the fun shapes.

Kids don't expect a dozen roses and an enormous box of chocolates for Valentine's Day, but they do appreciate even the smallest of festive gestures. So put a little extra heart into the upcoming holiday with one of these simple goodies.

Keep their homework tidy and together with a homemade heart paper clip.
Pour pancakes on the griddle or scrambled eggs into a skillet using a heart cookie cutter.
Tuck a handmade Valentine in your child's lunch box for a mid-day surprise.
For a fancy ice cream sandwich, press strawberry ice cream between two store bought Valentine cookies or make a homemade version.
Make spaghetti and meatballs memorable, by scooping and serving the long noodles in a nested heart shape.
Toss some festive bubble confetti in their bath water.
