I have a couple bread makers. We used to make bread in the classroom using them. It is so simple that younger children can get it started. Just teach them how to measure the ingredients and provide a recipe card. I have also made bread with children, using a zip top bag, dumping the ingredients in, and having them work the dough inside the bag. Sticky? Yes, but a great process to get those hands and fingers working.
What kind do you have and what are some of your favorite recipes?
I haven't used mine in a few years, but think they are a great preparedness item to have. You can have the bread maker make up your dough, then move it to a bread pan and bake it in your oven. You can also make pizza dough in a bread maker, and then remove it and make your pizzas. Start your dough in the machine and let it do the work for you.
I have seen bread makers at thrift stores and garage sales for little, so they can be had for a low investment. There are many recipes online for using bread makers. They come with a booklet of instructions and recipes when you buy them new.
