3. Chef for a Day

After making their chef paper bag puppets, kids would definitely want to play pretend to be a chef.

Give them the opportunity to pursue their interests after allowing them to play with their chef puppets.

Allow them to choose the menu for the day’s meals for the entire family.

Let them assist in washing, peeling, and mashing veggies while you guide them through preparing meals in the kitchen.

This is also a great way for kids to practice following instructions as they add the ingredients one at a time.

If they wish to bake some treats, it would be excellent practice to follow the correct ingredient measurements.
