South Of The Border Pizza

Cooking with kids takes time, effort and patience, and can be very messy at times. The food may not look as attractive as when you do it yourself; however, the benefits make it well worth the effort. Kids learn some important lessons along the way, such as:
• Basic cooking skills, including cleanup
• Reading and math skills as they read recipes and measure ingredients (we aren't quite there yet)
• Eating healthfully
• Self-confidence
• Self-care and personal responsibility
• Following directions and cooperation
But the best benefit - FUN FAMILY TIME

They just love cooking. Standing on chairs right up at the counter - the same level and view point as Mommy and Daddy. They feel so accomplished. Big. Real pride in their creations.

 

Of course neither one would actually eat their dinner once it was made.
