The activity of cooking is important in the Kindergarten programme, 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 Kindergarten classroom. However, tables usually used for other purposes can be adapted to the needs of kindergarteners.

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.
