Cooking up a storm

Involve your child when making a family meal.

If it’s one you use a recipe for, ask your child to prepare the ingredients for you and follow the sequence of instructions as you read aloud (e.g. sift flour first, combine eggs and sugar separately, add flour to eggs and sugar in small amounts until combined).

If you are not following a written recipe, explain the sequence of steps you normally take to create your dish and ask your child to help you.
