Suitable for 1-18 years: Cooking with children and teenagers

 Benefits of cooking with children

Cooking with children – from toddlers to teenagers – has a lot of benefits.

As well as being fun, cooking with your child:

• gives you the chance to introduce them to fresh, healthy foods and new foods
• helps them learn about how different foods look and where they come from
• helps them develop healthy eating habits, because they’re more likely to try food that they’ve helped to cook
• helps them learn about family traditions, recipes and foods
• prepares them for cooking for themselves or the family in later years
• helps build their maths skills – for example, when you count out teaspoons or measure liquid together
• helps build their vocabulary – for example, when you read a recipe together.
