Creative Kids Cooking

Here are some more creative ideas to keep your children busy during summer vacation!!! So school is out. No homework, no tests, no learning... woohoo!!! The kids are thrilled. Parents and teachers are not always so thrilled. "How much knowledge will my kids lose in these 2 or 3 months?" we wonder.

Well, we don't want kids to stop learning over the summer. We also don't want them to feel like we are forcing them to do schoolwork during their vacation. Here is the answer.... cue music... HAVE FUN WITH YOUR KIDS!!! :)

I love the idea of cooking with kids. They love helping in the kitchen, and everyone has to eat anyway. Why not get them involve. They are practicing math skills such as measuring, counting and fractions. They must use reading skills and follow instructions. You can even take them to the store and get them involved with money and learning about a variety of foods.

Here are some links to yummy and fun recipes. I love the familyfun.go.com website. They always have creative, fun ideas.
