The first of its kind, Look and Cook Snacks, is an entirely visual guide to cooking. Designed for children who can’t yet read, this is a must-have introduction to the joys of cooking.
From scrumptious fruit smoothies to easy-peasy pizzas, each recipe will let your kid take charge of their discovery of the kitchen! Key features for kids include:
Step-by-step visual instructions— Let kids who can’t yet read, and visual learners guide their own cooking journey.
A guide to kitchen basics— Learn skills like mixing and measuring, and proper handling of safe-to-use kitchen equipment.
Family-friendly recipes— Delicious, easy, and healthy snacks for the entire family to enjoy making and eating together.
Try these ideas with your children!
Infants and Toddlers: Allow children to explore tools used in the kitchen such as measuring cups and spoons. You could introduce several of the food items listed in the text for exploring and tasting.
Preschool: Read the inside book cover to introduce various cooking tools! Pick a recipe to have that week for a meal or snack.
School-age: Together, pick one of the recipe, make a shopping list, and plan a time to make it!
For ALL children: Pick various foods from the book! Try new foods, foods with different colors, textures, flavor profiles. Think sweet and sour, foods the colors of the rainbow, or squishy and firm!
*The Jazzy Giraffes at our Lake Orion campus explored not only our ROYGBIV, but new taste. We tried Pomegranate juice, purple cabbage, red onion, black olives, dragon fruit, mushroom, seaweed, mint leaves, lemon, mango, radish.*
