What easy Mother's Day breakfast can my young child help make?

I’ll never forget the year my nephew, Leo, who was barely five, decided to make his mom breakfast in bed for Mother’s Day. His dad, my brother, called me in a whispered panic from the pantry. “He wants to make pancakes,” he hissed, “But I can’t manage him, the batter, and a hot griddle without waking the whole house and possibly setting off a smoke alarm.” We’ve all been there, haven’t we? That beautiful, pure desire from a little one to do something grand for Mom, which often involves things that are a bit too hot, a bit too sharp, or a bit too complicated for their tiny, enthusiastic hands.
