Cooking with 2-3 year olds
Very young children like to explore with their senses of sight, touch, smell, hearing and tasting. They also like to do things on their own. Try letting your kids:
- Wash fruits and vegetables in the sink
- Add items to dishes (like chopped tofu to a casserole)
- Smell food, herbs and spices you are using
- Help find ingredients in the fridge or cupboard
- Put paper cups into muffin tins
Keep in mind, some kids may be happy to watch you cook and talk about what you are doing. An empty pot on the floor with a spoon keeps their hands busy. Be sure to ask lots of questions about what they are making that smells so good!
Cooking with 4-6 year olds
At this age, some kids may show signs of being a picky eater. While the food they prepare might not make it to their fork, try to be patient knowing that cooking is helping them warm up to the idea of trying new foods. Try letting your kids:
- Assemble foods: make trail mix or their own yogurt smoothie with toppings youve prepared
- Stir ingredients together (like muffins, pancakes, sauces)
- Slice soft-cooked vegetables, soft fruit, cheese or tofu with a plastic knife
- Crack and beat an egg
- Cook with a friend for a fun play date
