Kids in the Kitchen

Kids can help out with some of the cooking duties, as long as they're old enough.

4 year-olds can stir at the counter ~ 6 year-olds can crack eggs and fill muffin tins ~ 9 year-olds can cut veggies (carefully!), and older kids can cook at the stove. Kids of all ages can help pick herbs or veggies in the garden, shell peas or beans, or husk corn.

As long as there is adult supervision, there is no reason not to have the kids help out. Plus, they learn important math skills like weights, measures, and fractions!
