You might be surprised by the essential skills kids develop while helping in the kitchen.  By cutting, shaking, rolling and manipulating, they will build hand and upper body strength while also honing eye-hand coordination, all key elements for successful writing. 

Our recipes also help kids develop a sense of “hard” versus “soft” while rolling and cutting, a skill also transferred to school.  A good friend knows how to tag lightly in a game of tag, how hard to push a friend in the swing and how much pressure to put on a pencil to leave a mark without breaking the pencil. 

Physical movements are important ingredients to school success and so many are practiced while cooking.
