10-TKE CAROLINA TIMES . SAT., AUGUST 9, "1881 PARTI IN A SERIES GHIiLBREN- wfoai the classroom-is LOET0 LEAMN' When adults cook, it can be a creative. experience. Often, however, it is merely another chore. But to children, cooking is more. It's magic! A toddler's favorite play area is usually the kitchen; pots and pans his favorite toys. As they grow, youngsters remain entranced by the putting together of meals . . . the way gelatin gels and pud dings go from liquid to semi-solid, the way crisp, pasta softens in boiling water, and dough becomes bread after baking. It's enter tainment, and it can be educational. Experts in the field of child development indicate that there is a great deal to be gained by having children participate, in the mealrplanning and producing process. It can enrich the family relationships and encourage creativity, boost self-confidence and . improve coordination. In the kitchen, a child can learn to develop organizational abilities and a cooperative spirit. Menu planning can be an early introduction to the science of , nutrition and the importance of eating well balanced meals. Grap pling with measuring cups and spoons can lead to a better under- ?Jndin8 of the formidable fractions that plague most fifth graders... The study of recipes and labels can help improve reading skills. And even the tiniest of tots find learning how to tell time easier , wht n they're watching the clock's big hand for the moment that the , cookies can come from the oven. Nourish minds as well as bodies. , Of course, there are negatives, too. It is generally faster, neat- - er, and less demanding of one's patience- to do it oneself. The rewards, however, are there, and supervision of initial efforts can reap them. - - v V Getting Started With Budding Young Chefs , "Yes, I know it would be good for my child to learn to cook, but I ,v dont thihk he can handle things carefully." You may ask, as do , many parents, "How do I begin to teach him to cook?" - Kids can do much more than their parents think, report chil dren's, cooking school teachers. Unfortunately, most parents . underestimate the abilities of their children. With patient instruc tion and encouragement, kidsxan learn to cook at a relatively early age. The time to start is before the magic fades. The experts advise ' . parents to start encouraging children to do simple things when i they are very young and eager. But how do you know what your child is ready to do? Of course, your child's age and skill level are the keys. Even a two-year-old is able to try a hand at stirring and adding light weight ingredients to a bowl. A three-year-old should be able to pour liquids and to stir a cheese sauce mixture into macaroni which you have cooked, for example. Also, starting children out with nutritious foods, rather than the typical cookie projects, sets an excellent example at the begin ning and encourages an appreciation for a variety of wholesome foods. And cooking is a valuable experience for both boys and girls. By four or five, children can peel oranges and eggs, tear lettuce ; for salads, wash vegetables, shape hamburgers and cookies', and : even stir mixtures on the range. Their hand coordination and attention span is improving at this age, and they can accomplish more advanced tasks, - , .' At about age seven a nationally-known children's cooking school begins accepting youngsters for its classes. By this age, children should be able to cut and chop ingredients, with adult supervision of course. They can also learn to measure andcan follow instructions with several steps. After They Can Read Learning to read opens up a whole new world to a child and is a big step toward cooking independently. When a child can read simply-written steps of recipes, he is on his way to preparing a whole dish on his own. By age 12, or sometimes younger, a child should be able to prepare a simple meal completely on his own, if you Ijave cooked along with him since childhood. He has learned many' techniques from you, enjoyed the experience, and now has the confidence to strike out on his own. As your child moves into the teen years, the rewards of your efforts can begin to be measured, in terms of the easing of your own time in the kitchen. Many teens make a valu able contribution to the family work load by having dinner started . when parents get home from work and by cooking some weekend meals. This series on cooking with children includes a lesson on measuring, kitchen safety, and four recipes specially designed by the Kraft Kitchens as ideal for family cooking projects. The tasks handled by children will naturally depend upon the -age of the , particular child and his level of cooking skills. But the idea is to have fun, be creative, and then enjoy eating a nutritious meal. II r 1 If i w BAY! UP TP 40 OM ooopca coot oiTTcas CCSPMEOTO OTHER HMDS AT KROGER.
