Cooking with Kids is a Great Bonding and Educational Experience

There are many great reasons to cook with your kids at all ages.

It teaches them important life skills. It stimulates and compliments their school education – for example, measuring ingredients supports math learning. It encourages them to try dishes they might otherwise turn a nose up to. And it serves as a great way to bond with your children.

Children can help in the kitchen as soon as they are able to stand on a step stool and reach the counter. 


This is my daughter Angela, she's 5 years old and she really loves Pancake... So our activity for today, I will teach her to cook PANCAKE in a simple way... Exciting? 

This is a great bonding with my daughter Angela.... 

Kids Can Cook Pancakes

This pancake recipe is fairly kid-friendly, except for the hot griddle. Kids can mix the ingredients together and the adult(s) will have to oversee the use of the griddle and give some instruction on pancake flipping. Otherwise, this is a great recipe to get your kids involved with for preparing breakfast. You will be building skills and cooking competence while also making family memories. Your child might even propose making pancakes for dinner. It may be a new interest that they'll take up and look forward to doing with you.

Discuss what toppings will be used, from good old butter and maple syrup to fruit toppings or even peanut butter.

For kids who are just learning to flip pancakes, a griddle is recommended over a frying pan. Instructions are given for both methods.

Before you start, make a point of washing your hands and those of your child before you touch the clean utensils and ingredients. This will be a good life skill to cultivate.


Preparation: 


Important: While this "Kids Can Cook" recipe is written with kids in mind, it is not necessarily meant for kids to make without adult help. Kids' ages and level of cooking knowledge will affect how much help they need in the kitchen. Kids should always ask their parents before cooking anything.


Angela loves Pancakes  and this is her very own Pancake design drizzle it with Pascual Yogurt Creamy delight with  marshmallow and sprinkles.... 


 Cooking with kids instantly brings out many positives rather than negatives:

  • Most important more quality and interaction time
  • Healthy eating habits
  • Children learn new skills and this helps them improve their self-confidence
