Munchkin brought along a friend to help us!
Munchkin had so much fun cleaning the fruits, helping me pick out the grapes and washing them, adding them in a little at a time and then mixing them up. Cleaning up the strawberries and peeling the bananas. You should have seen how proud he was when he told his Tia he had made the food.
We brought out a small blanket and put it outside to enjoy the fruit salad in the sunshine! Of course munchkins dino had to come along and enjoy the fruit!
Hope you have fun with your kids in the Kitchen! If you feel a little nervous about it at first like me then start off with something easy and small and keep working your way up (like I plan to do). Its always great to share a new experience with your kiddo and the feeling they get of pride when they do something for themselves is priceless and so worth the fears we as parents might have. I need to start thinking of our next cooking adventure and while you are here don't forget to link up at Sensibly Sara if you are joining in.
Happy Cooking and yummy Eating!

ReplyDeleteLOL i like he dino having a picnic with you :) thanks for linking up
ReplyDeleteVisiting from the Kids in the Kitchen series...LOVE the Dino! My kids were obsessed with Dinos at that age. It's so fun!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I would do if my child actually ate fruit salad. Probably faint. He is turning 4 (tomorrow) and is just now eating grapes. We've struggled to get this boy to eat any fruit. He is SO picky. Apples will be the next challenge...

Awesome idea! I just wrote a post on cooking with my kids....we LOVE it! My kids are so involved in the process and I think it makes them eat different things more often.
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy!
