While we are all at the mercy of our homes for the time being and lots of uncertainty of when we can have celebrations we thought it would be a great time to make use of items you may have around your home. Something fun and light hearted to fill your soul.
Its a great time to teach kids about cooking and manners. A class that used to happen in school and was called Home Economics
Teaching your child how to be a host and how to be a good guest is a fundamental they will use for ever.
If they child is old enough you can even go over pre planning for company. Like making a shopping list, creating menu, etc.
Its a great time to talk about what foods are in season. Why it's best to eat foods in season and try new foods as well!
You can go over how much each ingredient to create the menu they selected would cost. If you have a some play money around you can even give them a certain amount and see what they can buy with the play money. Then they can prepare the menu.
Check Please!
