Why I love cooking with kids...

BREADY!
TOAST!
I love cooking with kids and it is always a joy to see them so happy to get involved. Cooking is an important and fun skill to learn and something that can start at pretty much any age.
Aside from my children's cooking classes I also run Stay and Play cooking classes for children between 3 and 6.

The skills that children learn through cookery are many and varied.
Just baking a loaf of bread will teach them a whole host of new and important skills |

- Maths - counting out and weighing the ingredients - as well as sequencing and determining the order of events
- Fine motor skills - through mixing, measuring, pouring and kneading
- Cultural understanding – learning where food comes from and what different people in the world eat
- Nutrition - healthy eating and understanding the food groups
- Social skills – practising turn-taking and learning patience!
