**BENEFITS**

*CHILD-CENTERED FORMATTING

Bright, beautiful visual recipe and simple sentence structures promote early literacy while letting your child own the process. No more text-heavy recipes where the parent has to decipher what happens next!

*SUPPORT EARLY LEARNING

No-prep brain-building ideas to easily support your child’s early education & development with no extra work required on your part.

*SIMPLE, COMMON INGREDIENTS

All recipes use six or less simple, commonly-used ingredients that you likely already have in your cabinets or can easily find at any grocery store and will use again and again.

*MADE WITH FAMILIES IN MIND

Formatted to keep you focused on the fun without having to be distracted. The clear Preparation checklist and side-by-side parent/child instructions will ensure you’re not having to take your eye off your child mid-recipe to find something you forgot or find additional information.

*HIGH-INTEREST EXPERIENCE

When finding a common interest between your children can be tough, the kitchen is almost always an area everyone in the family can find some fun. This delicious, sensory experience is the perfect place to support a variety of early learning and developmental skills while creating happy memories as a family.

SAFETY

We know the kitchen is full of opportunities for danger. Please remember to kid-proof your kitchen, prepare all items for your child before they begin cooking (so that you don't have to take your eyes off of them), never let them use hot or sharp items, have them wash hands thoroughly if handling eggs, and to generally use all good common-sense and safety measures. You will always know what is best for your child and trust yourself to make adjustments to the recipe accordingly.

DIVERSE NEEDS

As the parent, you know your child best and know what they need. Don’t hesitate to encourage your child to do something that’s a little challenging for them, especially since they have your support. This recipe is also designed for kids from age 2-5 and a lot of learning and developing happens in this timeframe! Take some of the brain-building ideas, leave the others, do what works best for your child, and know you’re doing awesome things for your little one!
