Cooking Games and Little Kids


Teaching young children to use the kitchen properly can be a serious chore. It’s not only dangerous at times, but there is always a considerable clean-up job left after your little brothers and sisters leave the kitchen area. If you’re ready to play cooking games with kids, be sure you think ahead of time to simplify things as much as you can – including the clean-up.

The best cooking games for young children are those that don’t include baking or any heat. Making instant pudding might seem simple to you, but it can be a grand adventure to a three-year-old. Hand over the wire whisk and let him beat that pudding to a pulp until it sets. You can expect a mess from anything, and this is no exception. If pudding isn’t your thing, you can precut fruit and have the little people in your life make a fruit salad by dumping it all together. A fruit smoothie works the same way, but with the added step of blending it all up. Regardless of what you wind up cooking, just be sure to have fun!
