Works for Me Wednesday – Kids’ Pretend Cooking

This activity keeps my kids occupied for hours, but I’m so frugal that I don’t do it very often.

Set your kids up at the kitchen table with bowls, wooden spoons, cups, etc. and let them pretend to cook up their own gourmet dishes using water and whatever other items in your pantry you need to get rid of (i.e., stale cereal, old spices, expired condiments, etc.)

This is a particularly timely activity if you are moving and need to clean out your cabinets as it lets you a) get rid of all the stuff you can’t move and b) keeps the kiddies occupied while you pack up the rest of your house.

Hope it works for you. Happy cooking, everyone!
