Learning in the Kitchen

I love to cook (but not dinner!). Cooking is one of the best things you can do for teaching: it is fun, it uses math, it uses reading, it uses science. You cannot go wrong if you let your preschooler help out in the kitchen- unless they (or you) catch something on fire!

I was cutting up veggies tonight and my son came over and asked what the yellow pepper was. I showed him the seeds and told him that is how more yellow peppers grow.

He actually moved on quickly, but it reminded me of how great the kitchen is... plus, maybe he will be the cook someday!
