Cooking Lessons
3-6 years old
Introduction
Kids cooking lessons for 3-6 year olds are often short and sweet.
Remember their attention span is short, (as if you didn't know that
already!!) so, small tasks are better. They learn about cooking by
watching, feeling, smelling, tasting and hands on experiences.
Just
letting 3-6 years old Help, Help, and Help, even if it's only adding
cheese or crushing chips on top of a casserole, will teach them a lot.
Our 13 cooking lesson plans include easy kid recipes and no bake
recipes for your assistant chef.
All these kids cooking ideas bring your kids one step closer to
learning how to cook.

Some children
will progress on different levels. Our age groups are
just guidelines. You as the adult should judge what is and is not
appropriate for the child cooking. Supervision is key. So please show
good judgment in teaching your child to cook.
