Help me give my students the necessary tools to explore the art of cooking!

My Project

My students are curious kiddos with a passion for exploration and an interest in hands-on and interactive activities. We are seeking the necessary kitchen tools to engage our students in the art of cooking! Their little hands and minds are capable of so much!

Through the art of cooking, my students will learn and develop a variety of skills along the way!

We can engage our little chefs in understanding the importance of following directions by observing a recipe while measuring and counting out ingredients. We can practice patience while waiting for our creations to cook and most importantly enjoy social interactions with peers while enjoying our delicious food.

With these materials, we hope to provide our students with new opportunities throughout the school year and achieve learning goals through unique and exciting activities.
