Keep Kids in the Kitchen: Why You Should Cook with Your Kids

If you want your kids to be adventurous foodies and eat more nutritiously than you need to get your kids helping you in the kitchen!

Make it even more fun for kids by pulling up a step stool and providing them with their own apron, mitts, and cooking utensils. This way your kids will feel and look like little Chefs!

Why Cook With Your Kids?

You're not only going to enhance your child's cognitive development and fine motor skills, but you are also going to make lasting memories for the both of you. Your kids are less likely to cherish the time it took to warm up a pre-made frozen lasagna as they will of the two of you making the lasagna layer by layer. Shared experiences bonds a family and what better way to share experience than in the kitchen cooking together?

Kids are more likely to share their day with you while you are cooking together. It lowers their guard and allows you to find out more about their day and feelings. Plus, it's another great reason to get kids away from technology.

And one of the most important reasons to teach kids to cook is you are teaching them a life skill they will use every single day of their life. It's sad when 20 and 30 year olds can't cook! I was one of them myself. I always felt embarrassed that I didn't know what I was doing in the kitchen.
