School holidays are approaching, and do you know what that means? Kids at home all day! Prevent your children from having a boring summer or getting entertained by television all day, and share your love for cooking with them.
Introduce your children to the culinary arts with these fun and easy recipes:
The phrase “love at first sight” has never made more sense than when preparing food for kids. Remember that presentation is essential to pique their interest in the kitchen.
Involve your children in the preparation of their meals. This way, they can develop their fine motor skills while learning to choose the ingredients for their own food.
Depending on your children's age, you can assign them tasks they can handle without putting them at risk. A good way to get them started in the kitchen is to teach them to read instructions and organize ingredients.
If you have more than one child, avoid kitchen battles by giving each one different tasks. For example, you can ask the older ones to cut the bread (always under your supervision) and the younger ones to flatten the slices with a rolling pin.
Sometimes kids may reject dishes that include ingredients they find “weird.” Invite them to help you prepare a recipe that includes some of their favorite foods, like in this case, Oreos.
Another reason kids may show little interest in cooking is the time invested. Most tend to get frustrated when they don’t see immediate results from their efforts. Try recipes that are quick and easy to prepare.
Take advantage of any celebration or social gathering to involve your children in the kitchen. Kids like to feel that their participation is important, so giving them credit for the party dessert will be a great way to encourage them to continue.
Help them discover healthier ingredients by incorporating them into their favorite dishes. Ask them to be the ones to add new ingredients so that when they consume them, they recognize them.
