Tips For Cooking With Kids

  • Assign everyone a task based on their age level. Younger kids in the kitchen for the first time get the job of decorating or stirring small things together. Kids that are a couple years older can have the task of cutting up ingredients, stirring in food coloring, or melting chocolate in the microwave!
  • Put ingredients like sprinkles, candies, and other little decorations in a small bowl. This will help your little monsters embrace their creativity with each snack!
  • Embrace the mess! Bowls and spills will happen, so set up your workspace to be easy to clean and use unbreakable dishes! Try disposable or compostable bowls for easy clean up!
  • If you have more than one kiddo working in the kitchen, set up individual stations so each child has their own workspace for a *harmonious* Halloween themed activity.
