ever since i started letting my son help me cook his eggs in the morning, he wants to help me cook EVERYTHING! its so fun to see him run over to the dining room table and attempt to drag a chair back into the kitchen. i have considered purchasing a learning tower, but we dont exactly have the space to store it while not in use and i dont really want it hanging around my kitchen. if i had the extra space in the kitchen, i would definitely buy one. they come in a bunch of colors, so you can find one to match your decor or choose your child's favorite color. for now, a dining room chair will be just fine.
kai wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich the other day for a snack, so we made one together.
all the ingredients on a paper towel on the kitchen counter, including one knife for each spread.
kai spreading the peanut butter. initially i spread the peanut butter on the bread to help him and he finished. someone was too hungry to wait until we finished...
sneaky!
spreading the jelly...
closing the sandwich.
sneaking ANOTHER bite before we sit down...
finally seated and enjoying his sandwich!
doing even the little things, like making a PB and J sandwich, is a big task for a toddler. i know my son really enjoys it and feels a great sense of accomplishment. the next time your toddler wants a sandwich, let them help you make it!
happy snacking!
