Get Kids Cookin'!
Cooking with your kids is a great way to bring the family together at mealtimes. Plus it helps introduce them to good eating choices.
Here are some easy tips to help get your kids cookin!
Make the tasks simple.
Counting out the pepperoni, stirring the sauce, washing the vegetables are easy ways for kids to help. Once their skills begin to improve, the tasks can get more complex.
Teach them safe habits.
This is a great time to teach safety lessons around the stove, like where to position pot handles. Plus you can introduce concepts like chopping, by using a safe plastic knife.
Give lots of praise.
