Cooking with kids: what you need to know

Let them get stuck in

Most cooking activities for kids involve a certain amount of mess, but that’s just part of the fun! Let them experience different smells, textures and tastes with different ingredients. You can prepare for this with aprons and tidying away kitchen surfaces before you start, but be relaxed about the mess. It’s all part of the experience, after all!

Give everyone something to do

There are plenty of recipes for kids to make at any age – even toddlers can get involved in cooking! Just make sure that everyone has a task that’s appropriate to their age.

We’ve got all kinds of recipes and easy cooking activities for kids, so there’s plenty of opportunities for you to teach them about food and how important it is to your health. Even if you’ve chosen one of our easy cake recipes for kids, you can still teach them about the importance of enjoying sweets in moderation.
