Cooking Skills Your Preschooler Can Learn

Here are some very simple skills that you can teach your little helper in the kitchen. You won’t believe the fun you’ll have and the valuable lessons your son or daughter will learn.

Cutting: Have your little one cut soft fruits such as bananas with a plastic knife or a smooth butter knife. Teach them to use a sawing motion on slightly tougher fruits like a grape. Be careful not to use a sharp knife for this lesson.

Mixing: This is every kid’s favorite part. All you need is a big bowl, a big spoon and some ingredients that need to be mixed. Make sure to start out this first lesson with ingredients that will blend easily.

Rinsing Fruits and Vegetables: Watching water rinse through a colander is fun. It’s like water play to the little ones!

Spreading: Try butter on crackers, jelly on bread, frosting on cupcakes. It can be messy and can take longer, but it’s worth it! Your child will learn great skill development during this lesson.

Measuring: Try using flour, sugar, or even water for learning how to measure. It’s fun to fill up a cup with an ingredient. They’ll feel special dumping it in!

Rolling out the dough: Kids have fun with Play-Doh, but they have even more fun with real dough!
