I had 5 kids happily using the apple peeler on apples and turnips.
Only problem came when one knocked over the glass measuring cup, it
shattered on the floor, and had the potential to have glass shards in
with the bucket collecting apple slices on the floor.  Lesson: don't
use glass containers!!

I had an older kid who was delighted to help stir, especially if
someone was able to listen to him chatter.

The girls worked best in pairs or threes, being able to talk to each
other while they did things.  They arranged some of the cheese and
things on platters.
