Now you’re cooking

Cooking with a young child requires a tremendous amount of patience. But the rewards are many. Valuable time together. Lessons in counting. Motor skills. Balance. Multi-tasking (the hold and mix movements simultaneously are challenging). Strength. Independence. Knife use. Making a mess of the kitchen. And, of course, fun.

We’ve recently completed a few kitchen projects together with yummy outcomes and good times had by all. I don’t think we’ll be filling our application for Master Chef kids any time soon. But I hope that we do more cooking together.
