Kids In The Kitchen

Kids are interested in everything that we do. Cooking is a great thing to start teaching them at an early age. I grew up in a family full of great cooks and chefs. Watching them prepare wonderful meals or just a good sandwich was always fun to me and developed my love for cooking.

The eclair cake is kid friendly and would be fun for kids to help with. They can make the pudding and line the pan with graham crackers. Remember that a few crackers might be missing and a couple licks of pudding might get eaten, but they will have fun and be proud that they helped with a special dessert.

Here are some fun ways to encourage your kids in the kitchen:
* At the toddler age, you could put a play kitchen in the kitchen. You can give them the empty boxes of pasta, rice, etc. and while you are cooking, they can cook too.
* If a toddler wants to watch you cook, put them in their high chair so that they can see and explain to them what you are doing.
* As they get a little older, if they show interest in cooking, buy little cook books so they can pick out things they would like to make.
* Encourage your kids to make a least one thing they enjoy so they can become experts at it.

Having your kids help in the kitchen is fun when you can share your knowledge of cooking.
