My son loves to help me cook. I set him in a big chair in the kitchen and let him stir, season, and pour. There are several great things about this. First, we are spending time together, which is great. Also, he is learning to cook and measure, also good. This occurs after nap time, when he is most fussy, so it puts him in a better mood. It also eats up time between nap and when dad gets home, which is the hardest part of the day for me. I get to cook dinner without him fussing from the living room that he needs attention. And, it gets him more interested in what we are eating for dinner, which makes him more likely to actually eat it. Plus, he feels really proud of himself. And, he’s a really cute little helper.
