Kids Cooking Party

"What a great way for me to get cooking ideas and plans for my kids!" little chefs

All the help you need to plan your kids cooking party including ideas, menus, invitations and complete step by step directions. If you are wondering how to celebrate your kids next birthday or if you are looking for a party idea, consider the fun of having a kids cooking party. Kids love creating and eating their own creations. Whether they are boys or girls they will love the idea of being chefs for the day. Give them a hat and apron and allow kids to have a real hands on experience cooking.

Each Kids Cooking Party Idea Includes:

A party to do list. This will help you know what to prepare two weeks, one week, two days before and a day before.

Step by step directions.

Complete recipes.

A pdf recipe card to print off and give to each child in their goody bag or to look at while cooking.

A list of items needed. You just need to evaluate the number of children coming and how many utensils you will need, bowls, cutting boards, etc.

Tips and Ideas for the Party

Don't try to do too much- include one main dish and one dessert or no more than 3 dishes.

Depending on the number of children get an assistant or two to help with the party.

Have an adult cook the recipe in the oven or stove top and let the kids do the actual preparing. They may be old enough to use the oven or stove top but with all the party excitement you want to be extra cautious.

Make an easy chef hat for each child. This helps make the party atmosphere.

Buy a canvas apron that they can decorate with fabric paint. You can find plain or colored aprons at oriental trading company in a package of 12 for $14.95 (less than $2 a piece) or if you are a sewer, sew an easy apron for each child.

While the party food is cooking you can decorate aprons or play some kids cooking games. You will find some fun party games here at http://www.kids-partycabin.com

Prepare a recipe card with the recipe they are making. Make one for each child to look at while cooking or write the recipe out on a large chalkboard or paper hanging on the wall. You will need one for each child to take home but this is for looking at during the party.
