Most all kids love to help and cook in the kitchen. Teaching them how to cook can be a skill that they will have for a lifetime.

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)

• Plan meal. Sit down and plan
  what meal you will be working
  on or what recipe you will be
  making. Read through it making
  sure you have all ingredients available and the recipe is not
  too complicated. Plan out the
  steps you will be using to create
  the recipe or meal.

• Shopping. Shop for the ingredients needed. This is a
  great way for kids to learn about the whole process of
  cooking.

• Prep work. Read your recipe through again if needed.
  Wash your hands, a very important step in teaching your
  kids to cook. Prep work involves anything that needs done before the actual cooking such as chopping, peeling, and preparing ingredients that the recipe calls for.

• Preparing and cooking. Now we get down to the actual
  cooking and preparing of the meal. This is the step where
  you put all your ingredients together and create, cook or
  bake.

• Clean up. Remember to clean as you go especially
  utensils and dishes used with raw meats and eggs. This
  step can be done while something is cooking in the oven
  and you are waiting. Clean up involves cleaning dishes, counters and floors if needed. Remember to put dirty
  towels and aprons in the laundry also.

Remember the importance of praising your kids work. Even if their accomplishment may look less than perfect little by little and step by step they will become master chefs if given the opportunity and it is something they enjoy.

Now you can sit back and enjoy their cooking.
