Cooking

The activity of cooking is important with little kids, so provision of suitable space for simple cooking projects should be part of the plan. It is unusual to have a complete cooking area with stove, oven, and fridge, working space and so on, in or near a the classroom. However, tables usually used for other purposes can be adapted to the needs of little kids.

They can cook in small appliances such as crock pots and electric skillets. The amount and complexity of equipment needed will vary according to local circumstances.

Cooking is one of several kinds of activities that can be enhanced by community participation. Volunteers can bring things from home and become involved in helping children learn to cook by following simple recipes.

Be aware of and consider their children's allergies

and special diet needs when planning cooking activities.
