Cooking with kids
By Joon

Jo,
I've worked in an early childhood setting for the last 12 years and we've done many simple cooking projects... hope these help:

English muffin pizzas- children put pizza sauce, toppings and cheese onto half of
an english muffin. (This can be done in the room then taken to your kitchen area to bake.)
Snackable letters- Use refrigerator biscuits, let the children roll the dough into a "snake-shape" then curve it into the letter that their name begins with and bake as directed on can. (Pretzel dough can also be used.)
Friendship snack- Each child brings in a sandwich bag

filled with a "finger food"(ex. dry cereal, dried fruit, nuts, pretzels, M&Ms)
Place what everyone brings into a large bowl and stir. Then refill each child's baggie with the Friendship mix. See if they can remember who brought what food as they eat their snack.
