What better way to make some indoor fun on hot summer days! Creating delicious, nutritious snacks with children!
Doing these activities with the children in your care helps them to build many basic skills. They are practicing math skills by doing something as simple as counting eggs or pouring water into a measuring cup. They are learning to explore their senses with new tastes, smells, textures. Science, sequencing, following directions are all part of cooking as well. Parents will love it as it encourages children to be more adventurous eaters and just by offering the fruits and vegetables you will see how their ideas blossom. The skills they sharpen such as fine motor will boost their confidence and creativity-you never know which child might be inspired to become a chef!
