The little lady helped me write our grocery list today. She wrote the first letter of each item and I filled in the rest so I wouldn't forget what we needed. I love that cooking incorporates literacy too! Graham crackers and marshmallows...any guesses about what we're making for our teeny tiny chefs cooking class tomorrow? #teenytinyfoodie #cookingwithkids #kidscanhelptoo #earlyliteracy #earlyliteracyskills #teachingfromthekitchen #teenytinychefs #creatingateenytinyfoodie

Cooking with kids is as easy as counting to 3. Or 5 or 10+ depending on your sous chef and your recipe. Here Eliana counts to 10 while pouring out a stream of olive oil for a recipe we made together. Kids can participate in the cooking process and strengthen their math skills by counting up to a developmentally appropriate number while performing a variety of tasks. Put your sous chef in charge of counting up to a specific number while simultaneously stirring, whisking, pouring, scooping or holding down the buttons on a blender or food processor. You can always have her count again (and again) or you can continue counting if the mixture needs more stirring/whisking pouring etc when the target number is reached. Try it out and get counting and cooking with your teeny tiny sous chef this weekend! #teenytinyfoodie #teenytinysouschef #creatingateenytinyfoodie #cookingwithtoddlers #cookingwithkids #kidscancook #kidsinthekitchen #teachingfromthekitchen #kidscookmonday
