Assistant Chef
Kids 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.
