[…] For starters, get children involved! Whether it be helping to shop for everything that will be prepared, cooking in the kitchen, decorating the table, or making fun crafts, include the kids. Be clear on directions and make it fun. Break tasks down into simple steps, and even use pictures for them to follow if reading is not mastered yet. It is amazing how much you can teach a child when cooking together in the kitchen. You can practice counting, colors, measuring, multiplying and dividing, letter recognition, word association, compare/contrast, creative thinking….the list goes on. Patience is key, so see what things you can prepare in advance so you don’t have to contend with the pressures of time on Thanksgiving day.

That is smart to cross teaching the children to cook with academic lessons. I have written my first Home Ec, Beginning Cookin book and I included some ideas to dig deeper, but I didn’t think about crossing it with history, math, etc… and make it more academic. Very cool!

Cooking really can teach you so many things, not just how to cook!

Great ideas! I especially love the activity for having your child start a recipe box. This is definitely something they will use for the rest of their life, and they can pass it down to their child.

I follow a neat blog about nutrition and cooking with kids. She usually includes hands-on ideas and activities. Here is the link: http://nutritionforhealthykids.blogspot.com/

Joyfully,
Jackie
