Nicole Dean, one of the most fun to spend time with your children is to prepare meals together. You'll need to prepare meals anyway, you might as well have spend time with your children. Its better than cooking alone, right?
Cooking with children is not only an easy way to spend time together, it gives you the opportunity to teach basic skills that your child will need as adults. There is nothing dumber than a student who does not know how to cook a potato. These are life skills are just as important as math and reading, no doubt.
How do you record cooking with your kids in your day? Start by finding a few cookbooks age appropriate. If your child was younger than 12 or cookbooks that have pictures and funny names for recipes. There are thousands of cookbooks for children are available, so you can take your time and choose the one you enjoy.
Encourage your children to choose meals that meet them. Older children may, if they wish, a cook from a cookbook for adults.
When your child as a meal, take a picture of the proud look on his face. Invite a grandparent or a parent more to enjoy the delicious food and let your child show cooking.
Picnic: One of the easiest ways to teach basic cooking to help your child to make sandwiches and meals outside. Let your kids choose the menu and all food. Your job is to smile and eat sandwiches, whatever their taste interesting.
Some simple sandwich combinations are:
Cream Cheese and Turkey or ham on a peanut butter and tortillas honey and banana raisin bread Bologna and American cheese with potato bread chips
I am sure that your child come up with creative combinations of them. Have fun with it and enjoy!
Teddy Bear Tea Party: Grab your stuffed animals and treat them for a picnic or a tea party. Give your child bake muffins or scones with your help. This is not only a great way to teach skills in food is a great opportunity to set the rules. Of course, teddy bears are great ways to enjoy tea and sandwiches and always say thank you and thank you. You can use the picnic on the living room floor, if the weather is cold and miserable. Thats the beauty bears. They do not care!
These are just some of the many ways to enjoy preparing food with your children. Now get cooking!
