Recipes to get kids in the kitchen

by Eleanor Cullen on Mar 06, 2019
Recipes to get kids in the kitchen

Cooking with kids is a fun way to connect and spend time together plus it has so many benefits for their growing bodies and minds – they learn where food comes from, how to safely navigate a kitchen, it encourages picky eaters to interact with new foods, and includes fantastic incidental lessons in English (recipe reading) and maths (measuring), the list goes on.

Plus, it’s delicious, which is reason enough!

Before you start, it’s a good idea to make sure you have all ingredients ready, and get everyone to wash their hands (and there’s another lesson in hygiene, right there).

Here are some great recipes to get you and your kids cooking up a storm.

Fruit kebabs

Despite a table full of sugary treats, at every birthday party you’ll see the fruit kebabs get gobbled up first! There is just something so enticing about those edible rainbows that makes kids go straight to them. It’s also a perfect beginner recipe for getting kids in the kitchen! Provide a range of colourful fruits for kids to thread on to bamboo skewers or reusable bento picks. If you’re feeling fancy, you could cut the fruit in to shapes using cookie cutters. Encourage your child to make patterns based on shape, colour and texture.

Mini pizzas

Kidgredients Mini Pizzas
Kidgredients

Pizzas are nice, easy recipe to start with. If you’re not in the mood to make dough, English muffins work really well and will cut down your prep time drastically. If you have older children who can safely use a knife then get them cutting up the veggies and placing them in bowls to create a Make Your Own Pizza Station. Smaller kids can then take their dough or muffin and load it up with all the ingredients they like before Mum or Dad place it in the oven.

Crunchy apple boats

Childhood 101 crunchy apple boats
Childhood 101

These adorable apple boats would make a great afternoon tea treat. Those rice cereal pieces can get everywhere if you sprinkle them over the top, but if you place your rice cereal in a bowl and dip the apple in it there will be less chance of it going everywhere. Dress up as pirates, sit in a box on a blue towel ocean, pop on a pirate movie and voila, you’ve got a themed afternoon that they’ll talk about for ages

Cheesy puff pastry stars

My Fussy Eater cheesy puff stars
My Fussy Eater

No star cutter? No worries! These three ingredient cheesy pastry bites can be made in any shape you like.

Choose dinosaurs or trucks, hearts or elephants – you could even use letter cutters and spell their name. Pressing the shapes out and then painting the gooey egg wash on with a pastry brush is fabulous way to practise those fine motor skills, too!

Chocolate mug pudding

Picklebums chocolate mug pudding
Picklebums

When you’ve just cleaned the kitchen and don’t fancy using sixteen bowls to make a cake with the kids, but you want to cook something, mug cake is your answer!

These single serve desserts are a fabulous, low mess alternative to a giant cake, and because they only use one mug for both mixing and cooking, clean up is a breeze.

As they’re individual, each child can also add extras that only they like – the recipe suggests choc chips or raspberries, but get creative and have them cut up their favourite chocolate bar! Melty Mars Bar pieces, yes please!

Toddler Feedie® Cutlery Set - Sage

The best toddler cutlery I've tried

I've tried a lot of different kinds of cutlery with my toddler and these are his (and my) favourite. The metal enables him to use the cutlery properly which leads to a more empowering and less frustrating experience! He can actually pick things up with the fork, and actually cut stuff with the knife - believe when I say you shouldn't take that for granted with other sets out there. The comfy handles give him a good grip and help him manipulate the cutlery more easily than a metal handle. A perfect combo!

Great Grip for the Picnic Trip

I purchased these toddler eating sets as they are metal and great grips for them to handle. Their picnic sets came with melamine sets so these metal ones are far superior and easy for twinnies to use. Thank you

Great Grip for the Picnic Trip

I purchased these toddler eating sets as they are metal and great grips for them to handle. Their picnic sets came with melamine eating sets which they found didn’t work nearly as well as these. Thank you Happy Twinnies
