There are three things young kids love doing more than anything else. They love creating things, they love doing things with their parents, and they love making a mess. Cooking is a perfect storm of all these three things. It does more than teach your kids a skill they’re going to be using for the rest of their lives- it’s also a great way to get them to eat healthy right now. Your child might be suspicious of fruit and vegetables, but you’ll be amazed how willing they are to eat anything that they had a hand in creating.
Getting kids into cooking in the first place isn’t hard. The trick is to do it in a way that will keep that interest alive as they get older.
