Teaching Kids Multi-Cultural Cooking…
A friend of mine recently told me she tries to teach her children other cultures by having a special dinner with 
activities every few weeks. She researches a particular culture and then the kids make decorations or other crafty items that reflect that culture. Then they all prepare foods from that culture to experience what they may eat.
I found this to be SO interesting and wanted to do the same for my kids. It sounded so fun! And, it’s also educational. How can you beat that?!
I started to do my own research so that I knew where to get started. I found a great website called Kids Cooking Activities. This website has some great tips and explains why it is important for families to cook together. I believe the ten bullet-points on the website whole heatedly. I always find that my kids are more likely to eat when they are involved in the preparation. Here are a few examples of what Kids Cooking Activities teaches. Cooking with your kids…
1. Teaches kids the importance of nutrition and healthy eating
2. Boosts their self-esteem
3. Is wonderful family together-time
These are just a few of the fantastic points of the importance of cooking with your kids. You can read them all at Kids-Cooking-Activities.com.
Sticking with my original idea to teach my kids about cooking meals from around the world and learning about other cultures, I dug a little deeper and found the website’s International Gourmet Recipes for Kids that helps kids learn about multi-cultural foods. Check out International Gourmet Recipes for Kids.
So get your kids involved and help them learn about cultures from around the world without ever leaving your home. Make it a family tradition…perhaps a monthly fun activity that you can all share together.
