Special Soup
Kids Activity for 2-6 year olds

7 vote(s)

If you're trying to cook and your little one keeps demanding your attention, give them their own large mixing bowl and spoon. Hand them the odds and ends of whatever you're using: i.e. potato or onion peels, celery leaves, pasta, etc. Add water and any spices you feel you can spare. Stir, stir, stir... let your child keep adding whatever strikes their fancy. Et voila! Special Soup! You can't eat it, but your child will have fun working along next to you.

Materials Needed: Mixing bowl, spoon, whatever you're cooking for dinner

Ages: 2-6 year olds

Wasting food isn't that great of an idea- maybe do this activity with plastic food for the child?

Though I have a feeling my son this activity would've been more trouble than it's worth when my son was 2, he is now nearly 5 and loves to "help" me cook. This is a great activity to make him feel included and helps me keep an eye on him in the kitchen.

If your child is an enthusiastic cook and you have a salad spinner, throw a few things in that and let your child spin to his heart's content.
