What child does not enjoy eating? You can always keep your kid entertained by involving them in or near the kitchen. If you're not ready to let them cook just yet, don't worry; we've got you covered with other tasks.
1. Make some lemonades.
Making lemonade is a safe and enjoyable exercise that does not require the use of any burners or knives. In addition, everyone enjoys a refreshing glass of lemonade in the summer weather. Simply keep an eye out for the quantity of salt or sugar they add to the water.
2. Describe Food in the Manner of a Chef
We all enjoy watching cooking programmes. Take note of how the judge always describes the cuisine before eating it. Encourage your child to observe and describe the details of the food they are supposed to eat.
3. Prepare A Dish
Assume your child is too small to cook entire meals (and you don't want them to ruin your clean kitchen). You can entrust them with the dish's display. Allow the child to arrange everything on the plate neatly (even artistically!) for everyone to consume.
4. Food Identification Through Smell Or Taste
Engaging children's senses is an excellent way to educate them about food. Can they recognise something by sight? What if they have their eyes closed? Can they recognise the food based on its smell, texture, or taste? Start with something simple like salt and sugar and work your way up.
5. Feel A Mysterious Food
Ask your child to recognise the fruit or vegetable solely by touch. Are they able to tell the difference between an apple and a peach? Can they distinguish the difference between a pulse and a grain? It would be an excellent method for children to learn about food.
6. What is the name of that food?
Even adults frequently do not know the names of specific fruits, veggies, or foods in general. For example, you could ask your child to name the five different pulses or masalas that you most likely have in your kitchen.
7. Perform a Food Experiment
Allow the child to explore their interests. Allow them to experiment in the kitchen and taste various foods (just make sure they don't get sick!). This way, they can learn the fundamentals of what goes into cooking food.
