I saw on a blog this great idea to let kids "cook" and I immediately knew Caleb would love it. Last rainy Saturday I set up his ingredients and tools, and he went to work. TWO HOURS later I explained it was time to clean up. I refilled his water, and added more ingredients at one point, but other than that he was cooking on his own- happy as could be. I was able to use up some spices and condiments that were close to expiration and learned what not to use due to the strong smell (dill)! And, sprinkles are a must, as they turn the "food" to a bright, distinctive color. We've actually done this two more times over the past week and each time he's played for at least 1 1/2 hours before I've called it quits. I also love that he is learning the names of different spices and their smells. He's our little Bobby Flay!
