How to do you incorporate cooking with your kids into your busy day? Start by finding some age-appropriate cookbooks.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

When your child serves the meal, take a picture of the proud look on his or her face. Invite a grandparent or relative over to enjoy the delicious meal and let your child show off her cooking skills.

Picnic: One of the easiest ways to teach basic cooking skills is to help your child make some sandwiches and eat them outside. Let your children choose the menu and make all the foods. Your job is to smile and eat the sandwiches, no matter how interesting they taste.

Some simple sandwich combinations are:

Cream Cheese & either Turkey or Ham on a Tortilla
Peanut Butter & Honey & Bananas on Raisin Bread
Bologna & American Cheese with Potato Chips on White Bread

I’m sure your child will come up with some creative combinations of his own. Have fun with it and enjoy!

Teddy Bear Tea Party: Grab the stuffed animals and treat them to a picnic or tea party. Allow your child to bake muffins or scones with your help. This is, not only a great way to teach food skills, it’s a wonderful opportunity to reinforce manners. Of course, teddy bears have excellent manners when enjoying tea and sandwiches and they always say “please” and “thank you”. You can serve the picnic on your living room floor if the weather is cold and miserable. That’s the beauty of teddy bears. They won’t mind!

These are only a few of the countless ways you can enjoy preparing foods with your children. Now, get cooking!
