It’s fun to get kids in the kitchen with you and you cook together with them. Of course when I do this kind of activity with them because of their ages there are just some things I don’t let them do like cut or chop or use the stove or the oven. They can still have fun though with it they can mix, measure, pour, stir things like that. When I do this activity with my kids I try to use what I call kid friendly recpies what I mean by that is things like cookie, pizzas, things like that. I have 4 chidlren so when I have all of them in there we first sit down at the table and discuss what we are going to make we read the recpie and figure out together what we need. I try to get them to take turns like one can read one direction, then one can measure, and another can pour, stir, ect. we repeat this process until the final product is done and I rotate it so that each child can have a turn in each step. It can create some fun memories, and good learning experience for the kids without them relizing it, it can help them in their reading, and math and with more than one child it can even help with their social skills in working together as team to finish something
