We received pizza ingredients from JON & VINNY and we were excited to cook together.

Eliana is 7 and loves being in the kitchen and learning to make recipes. Of course, everyone loves pizza, right?

Why Cook With Your Kids

It’s never too early (or too late) to cook with your kids, and no matter when you do it, you’ll see all the wonderful

Reason #1 – It’s fun quality time

I know, I know, it requires extra time, it can potentially be more of a mess and, therefore, more cleaning up is needed, and it can definitely test your patience.

But cooking with kids is something productive that you do together and the lessons we learn and teach are priceless.

Cooking fosters togetherness and creates a bond among siblings, too. They learn to work as a team, especially when you emphasize that everyone’s job is valuable.

Reason #2 – It brings them confidence

Cooking is one of those things where you can get a quick tangible outcome, and this can bring a boost of confidence in your little one.

They say “pride and joy” together for a reason. When kids are proud of themselves and they can see their effort made a difference, it really brings them joy.

Reason #3 – It builds skills

Cooking in itself an essential life skill that we think kids will need in the future.

However, while kids are learning to cook, they learn a bit of math, science, art… and nutrition.

A child can learn a lot of important values through cooking, such as a sense of responsibility, listening and following instructions, and the importance of keeping safe.

Cooking also helps kids develop language, motor skills, and more!
