Weekend links
We have four boys: a 6 year old, 3 year old twins, and an infant. Our 6-year old loves to cook! He chops veggies for me, stirs and mixes, washes dishes, measures ingredients, and is excellent and helping clean up! I love cooking with our 3-year olds. We use this as one-on-one time. Since they do a lot of things together, cooking with them individually is a lot of fun. They love making quesadillas, helping with pancakes, scrambled eggs… And all of them LOVE helping me make cookies. 🙂 Our infant often helps me cook and do the dishes from our Tula baby carrier. I would love to win this curriculum! It would help us do more of what we love doing together– cooking together, eating meals together, and learning together!

Kimber’s Navy Family’s latest post: To stand
My children are 10, 7, and 6. They love to help in the kitchen, mostly with measuring and stirring; sometimes they like to help peel and slice and add seasonings.
I have five kids, and a high school exchange student, currently. They are 15, 12, 10, 8, 6 and 4. I have to say I found this post at a great time. I was just thinking that I did a really great job teaching my older kids skills in the kitchen, but the younger ones, I haven’t done so much with. My older one, especially, takes care of many lunches, and sometimes dinner too. I would love something like Raddish, to help me organize and implement a plan for the younger kids!
I have “liked” both Raddish and Simple Homeschool!
would LOVE this. boys are 13,11 and 9 and could use a fun way to learn to be self sufficient…they have many challenges, and learning self help skills is crucial!
Ours are 5 and 3. They help with breakfast and dinner prep. And our oldest is now our “official” dish washer!
My girls are 6,4,3, and 1. The older ones all measure dry ingredients, stir, crack eggs. Run the mixer, and are learning to cut up fruit and veggies with their kid knives. The baby is into throwing things in the trash, so she gets to help do that when needed!
I have two teenagers and a 9yo daughter. I love to have them work with me on the kitchen with fun “project” foods for homeschool, or help make some of their favorite recipes.
Amy’s latest post: a heart of flesh
My son is 7 and my daughter is 5. He loves to make lunches for himself and his sister and she loves to help me with anything she can in the kitchen.
Rachael’s latest post: Eyesore Wall Turned Gallery Wall
Does unloading the dishwasher count? ha, j/k. My kids are 9, 6, and 4. They help me make supper, the oldest one likes baking cakes and muffins, the middle one likes making interesting sandwiches, and the little one is my stirrer.
Jenny’s latest post: September
My girls are 11, 8 and 11 months. The older two love to cook. They are responsible for one dinner a week. Planning, grocery list and cooking. With me very close by guiding them. They are so proud!!
My kids are 9 and 11 and they each have the job of planning and making a hot breakfast for the family a couple of days each week. That small responsibility has given them so much joy and confidence, I think it is time we expanded to preparing other meals.
Wow! What a fun curriculum! I said to myself, “Self, Wouldn’t it be so great if I won?”
Then I went to Facebook and LIKED both pages (just to top it off I started following them on Pinterest too…).
I have six children, ages 15, 13, 13, 7, 4, and 2. We spend most of our time in the kitchen preparing meals, cleaning up, and doing science experiments. Everyone helps out and has a job to do to get a meal on the table. Being in the kitchen is being home for our family.
I am new to homeschooling. My oldest son is Asperger’s Syndrome/High Functioning Autistic. I am trying to teach him life skills along with the other things he needs for school. I think that this sounds like something he and I could really do and it would help us with us the younger children too. I have a 7 year old and a 15 month old, the baby can’t do much right now, but eat the food, but that sounds good enough to me. I am so glad found this.
I have 7, 8, 9, year old. If I need a dessert I tell them to get busy. I just play sous chef. It’s made them very aware of the importance of fractions.
My daughter is almost three. She helps by counting, pouring, stirring–and even mincing! Inspired by Disney’s Princess and the Frog, she and her dad made gumbo. He proudly informed me that she minced almost all the mushrooms on her own.
I homeschool our 4 kids, ages 9, 8, 6, and 5. I have my boys making breakfast this year each morning, and the girls help set the table and help me with lunch.
My kids are 9 and 11 and they plan and prepare one meal every week. Both love to be in the kitchen.
Liked both on Facebook!
I have 6 kids from ages 19 to 16 months….I believe in getting them involved in the kitchen very early – my 4 year old loves to help stir, open cans, get things, dump in the bowl, etc. Up to the older ones who can now completely prepare a meal, cookies, and my son who canned pickle relish this summer – now cleaning up the mess – that they havent figured out so much 🙂
