β¨ Cooking Group β Building Life Skills Through Fun! β¨
Cooking is more than just making food β itβs a chance for children to learn independence, responsibility, and confidence while having fun. Each session, children are building valuable life skills such as:
β’ Following instructions and sequencing steps.
β’ Developing fine and gross motor skills (pouring, mixing, cutting safely, stirring).
β’ Exploring healthy food choices and becoming more open to trying new foods.
β’ Building independence by preparing meals and snacks they can enjoy.
β’ Problem-solving and teamwork, especially when working alongside peers.
One parent recently shared a beautiful story:
βHeath helped me get dinner ready tonight, and then he decided he wanted to actually do everything β even cooking his own dinner! I usually make two meals every night because Heath doesnβt eat what we eat, but tonight he was proud to cook for himself. These photos show that your cooking sessions are definitely paying off!β
Moments like this show how skills from cooking group transfer into everyday life, building confidence and independence at home.
Encouraging children to participate not only makes mealtimes easier but also gives them a sense of pride and achievement in what they can do all by themselves.
