Indeed, getting young kids involved in the kitchen or grocery shopping, is a great way to get them interested in food while spending quality time together. We have had a lot of fun with our twins in the kitchen. It is also important to give them praise at the table for their great help; it gives them a lot of happiness and makes them more willing to help out next time. It also encourages them to try new foods.

Thank you for these wonderful tips and reminding us again of this awesome technique to nurture healthy habits right from the start!

I love to see children of all ages, but especially the little ones!, with cooking implements in their hands. They always look adorable!

In reply to carecraftcook. She was just a little before 2 when we started. We started with dishes first, just her sippy cups and her own plates, of course doing utensils and glass on my own. On her 2nd birthday she got a safety stool and that was a god send. She now help measure, pour, mix. For cookies, I let her make the cookie cutter shapes and we just shucked corn for the first time all three of us yesterday. She loves helping. When I start dinner, she will jump right up on her stool and say "Mai can do it." Lol!

I plan on getting X involved in the kitchen as some of our September activities. I’m a little worried (I make enough of a mess alone!) but it should be fun and great learning for him! How old was your daughter when you first started cooking with her?

In reply to The Pinterested Parent. We have a kitchen store here that has items for $1- I'm stocking their kitchen with some cheap real items in hopes that my spoons might stay in the drawers more often ;)
