Work, extracurricular work, homework... spending quality and fun time with the family is often almost impossible. Why not turn some everyday task into a family activity and also an educational one? As part of our Great Little People methodology, We teach you how to do Cooking recipes for children and its benefits.
To do Easy recipes for kids has multiple advantages throughout the entire process of the activity. First of all, it is an exercise that stimulates resourcefulness, increases the trust and autonomy by doing “grown-up things” and encourages teamwork. Plus, it's a perfect way to purchase and review mathematical knowledge when weighing and measuring quantities and foods. In addition, They increase their vocabulary in a fun way and discover new flavors and aromas that help their cognitive development.Play and learning start long before making the recipe, since children should be involved in the entire process. We will start by choosing the recipe together, write down the ingredients, check if they have and/or go buy the missing ones. This moment can be used to talk to them about food, nutritional value, invite them to collaborate to pick up the products... When they get home or to the kitchen, the safety and hygiene measures are explained to them, the utensils are prepared... And to cook!
The most important thing for family cooking is that we, as parents, are relaxed during the process. We should not think about whether there will be a lot of clutter in the kitchen, we simply have to instill cleaning them little by little from the start. In these types of occasions, positive reinforcement is essential. Las safety regulations is another important topic when it comes to making recipes with children. We should not incite them to fear fire or knives, but we should explain clearly how they are used and their risks, even though they will always be used under the supervision of an adult. The last piece of advice we give is Divide tasks by difficulty levels if you have children of different ages.
