The kid, who has just learned to walk, reaches for a bowl of water or a coveted sink, trying to help you wash the plate. Or waving a broom, hoping that you will still appreciate his work. Do not dismiss him from the kitchen. The time will come and your child will not want to help you.
How to teach a child to help in the kitchen
- The earlier you allow the child to help in the kitchen, the better. To do this, use our tips.
- Give the child the opportunity to brush the brush with a brush and wash it in a basin.
- When you make a dough, make it a little more than necessary. Children of kindergarten age will be able to roll out the dough with a small rock and sculpt different figures. And you can bake together a pie created by the child.
- Allow the baby to fill the blender with yoghurt and fruits and press the button. Get a delicious and healthy cocktail.
- Buy a baby metal or plastic bowls. They will be easy, they can not be broken.
- The kid should have his apron. This will not only protect the clothes, but also the child in the kitchen will be more serious about the help.

- A schoolboy can give a notebook or a cookbook, where he will record the recipes he likes.

If you want to try a dinner prepared by your daughter or son, then you must teach him to prepare food from childhood. For the preschooler will be able to clean from the table, wash the dishes, follow the time so that the potatoes can not digest, cook minced meat for cutlets and pizza.
Let the kid help you, at first this help will add to you a lot of trouble, but in the future everything will pay off. Allow the child to stand on the stool and watch you. Allow him to make ice cream from fruit, for example, cut the bananas for ice cream. If a child cooks ice cream with sliced fruit, this ice cream for him will become even more delicious.
Help in the kitchen
The most favorite game is a game with water. When the mother washes the dishes, give the child a small basin with a warm water. Give him his unbreakable cup. Show the baby how to wash and what to say when the baby helps you. Growing up, the baby will be able to stand on a chair and wash his cup in the sink. A child of 3 years can be given a sponge and dishwashing detergent. This lesson is necessary for boys and girls. Children of kindergarten age will not be difficult to cover on the table: arrange cups and plates, put cutlery nearby and beautifully fold paper napkins. The child can put dirty dishes in the sink and put the dishes in the dishwasher.
The child can be assigned some kind of work - put stuffing in vareniki, wash the brushes with vegetables and salad, stir the minced meat for cutlets. You do not need to say "woe is my onion", "let me do it myself", Otherwise you will beat the child's desire to help you. And when you sit down at the table, be sure to say: "Today, the two of us have made this salad." Do not forget to thank the child for help.
