The age range for kids to start cooking can vary, but generally ages 5-12 are ideal. Kids within this age range are more capable of following instructions and handling basic kitchen tools.
It is important to always supervise kids while they are cooking and to teach them how to safely handle kitchen tools and appliances. Remind them to wash their hands before and after handling food and to be cautious around hot surfaces and sharp objects.
Some simple and kid-friendly recipes to start with include homemade pizza, fruit skewers, and no-bake energy bites. These recipes involve basic ingredients and easy steps, making them perfect for kids to help with.
One way to get kids excited about cooking is to involve them in the planning process. Let them choose a recipe or pick out ingredients at the grocery store. You can also make cooking a fun and interactive activity by playing music or having a cooking competition.
Cooking with kids can be a great opportunity to teach them about nutrition, food safety, and math skills. Involve them in measuring and counting ingredients, talk to them about the nutritional value of different foods, and show them how to properly handle and store food.
