Simple Food Preparation and Recipe Ideas for Kids

It's the 12 Months of Montessori and today I'm excited to share simple recipes that your kids (with your assistance) can try at home.  These are so easy to prepare and will help our little ones develop and improve fine motor and practical life skills.

Food and Nutrition Themed Shelf

Vito is currently obsessed with our Let's Read and Find Out Series.  I've started reading the level 1 series to him since April and he's hooked into it.  There are tons of books in the level 1 series that he's currently obsessed with but one book stands out, What's for Lunch.  The book introduces the basic food groups to children.  I was totally surprised about his interest in this subject area.  He's becoming curious of what he eats lately and drinking more milk than usual.

Food Pyramid and Food Groups Activities for Kids

Vito loves the book, What's for Lunch?!  He loves learning all about the food groups, on what food will help him have stronger bones and teeth, food that will give him energy, and food that will keep him healthy.  I love that he developed this interest early on.  I think that it's important to educate little ones about healthy food because right now, he's super conscious on what he eats, and he's more eager to eat fruits, drink lots of milk and water!

Come take a look at some of the learning activities that we worked on to support his interest on food.
