Cooking Lab

Rec. & YR 1

Children show their curiosity with “real life” activities by pretending to cook, clean, take care of a doll and other role playing activities. But children would much prefer to prepare real meals than to take on “pretend” chores with toys. A child learns self-control, independence, and develops a healthy self-image if the work is real. Through daily family activities such as washing fruits and vegetables, setting or clearing a table, washing dishes, and watering plants your child learns about discipline, self-care, sense of community, and caring for the home environment.
