Believe it or not, cooking can be great fun for both you and your toddler! Cooking can encourage a variety of skills that are essential to child development!
Creating something delicious to eat helps them explore a variety of skills that are essential to their development.
Cooking can encourage physical skills such as grasping a cup of an ingredient to dump, stirring with a spoon, as well as expanding language skills while you talk about what you are doing. Additionally, cooking together offers opportunities to increase your child’s ability to follow directions, learn about size and build sensory experiences with new tastes and smells.
