Kids in the Kitchen
I want to help you! Teach me about healthy foods through cooking with me!
Teach me to keep our food safe by always washing our hands before cooking.
Depending on how old I am, I may need simpler tasks or more help when I am in the kitchen with you. Stay with me and help me while I am learning how to cook with you.
