Busy Little Hands: Food Play!: Activities for Preschoolers

Do you want to show your preschooler they can cook? This book is for you! It has simple fun recipes that they can do in the kitchen with a little help from and adult. The recipes are centered around healthy foods for kids.

Recipes: The instructions seemed simple and clear. I thought they were very age appropriate. Everything was fun and great for kids to learn about making themselves food. I personally thought the bread swirls were a fun creative activity to help my child learn how to cut, spread, and roll something into a fun shape. When the adult cuts it, it is just a cool looking snack.

Photographs: The pictures were great. It also helped non-readers to understand the instructions as well. They were bright and fun.

Kid Appeal: My three-year-old took the book and told me we are going to make watermelon juice. She liked cutting the watermelon and the squishing them in a baggie.

Parent Appeal: I loved that my child could learn to make something for themselves.

Age Range: 3 to 6 years. I think older kids could benefit from using this book, too.
