A few of the creative crafts that the children were working on for Thanksgiving!

CREATIVE IDEAS TO ENGAGE YOUR LITTLE ONES IN THE KITCHEN UNDER YOUR SUPERVISION Chopping/Slicing, Grating - Fruits, Vegetables. Cheese blocks Pick Herbs -Pick the leaves off the stalk (with pre-cut herbs) or pick the leaves from the plant. Helps refine Fine Motor skills... Spread crackers with cream cheese or hummus Juicing - juicing oranges with a simple hand juicer, the kitchen bench is a good wipeable surface and you are nearby to help if needed. Explore Cut Fruit - place cut fruits or unusual fruits in half and let the child explore, allow them taste/eat them afterwards. Sort Cutlery Knead Dough could keep fresh dough in the fridge or freezer and bake when the child has finished. Peel an Egg, Shelling Peas, Peel Apart Garlic Bulbs, de-husk corn - think ahead, is there anything the child can help with to provide snacks for later or get a start on the next meal, toddlers often take a long time to peel a boiled egg or activities like shelling peas. Flower Arranging - this is a great activity to do in the kitchen as the kitchen is already a wet area or easy to clean up spills. Put a few flowers aside and provide the child with a tray, flowers and a few vases, keep a cleaning cloth near for the child to clean up their own spills.
