Children
learn by using all their senses - touching, tasting, feeling, smelling
and listening. Learning about food and cooking is a great way
to
do all of these. It is also important for children to learn
about
a healthy diet, good ingredients and how to cook them. If an
interest in real food is encouraged early enough, then hopefully it
will stay with them for life.
Little Cookies offers an opportunity for children
to have fun with food, either through its classes for pre-schoolers from age 3, and a parent/carer,
or its parties for children of any age.
Many
parents may be put off letting little ones free in their kitchens at
home, but I’m happy for them to get stuck in and be creative.
For
busy parents, or those whose skills lie outside the kitchen, it’s a
trouble-free way to introduce your children to cooking, and no mess for
you to clear up! And hopefully there's the added bonus that
they'll eat what they cook!
I hope you'll want to join us!
