Make-A-Meal
Purpose:
To encourage your child to develop an interest in nutrition and meal preparation.
Activity Instructions:
Once a week, have your child select the main dish for dinner. Sit down with him and research easy, kid-friendly recipes that you can prepare together. Then, take a trip to the store with your child, so he can help you purchase the ingredients.
At home, let him prepare as much of the main dish as possible. He'll enjoy being able to say that he "made dinner," and your supervision will ensure against a kitchen disaster!

Your child will learn to appreciate mealtimes and develop an interest in food preparation, nutrition, and smart shopping habits.
