Get your kids in the kitchen early and teach them basic skills to cook. So many fun ways to teach them basic math skills and nutrition. Getting them comfortable in a kitchen with easy ingredients is key.
I believe I taught our kids pudding first so they could enjoy creating a fun treat and seeing how adding just a few ingredients can turn into a treat to enjoy for the whole family. Scooping ice cream and assembling fruit or vegetables on plates is a great way to start. Add toppings to a dessert can add a extra fun layer for them to enjoy.
This is my granddaughter who has food allergies and I think it is the most important reason to get her in the kitchen and learn how to enjoy foods she can eat. Creativity is sparked and applied to meals and is my absolutely favorite fun to enjoy. Simple happy colorful meals are the best for any child!
