Cook up a treat – being helpful can be really sweet

What to do 

1. Browse a recipe book, or look up some recipes online together, and choose something to make.  
2. Include your toddler in as much of the process as you can. 
3. Your toddler might be an expert taster, whisker, mixer, stirrer and spooner... the more chances they get to practise, the better they will become.  
4. Don’t worry about the end result – let the enjoyment be in the making as much as possible.  
5. Talk to your toddler about the ways their help makes things easier (or more fun) for you.
