Got a veggie patch you would love to utilize? No problem!
Here at Cook n Create we LOVE to watch children take ownership of their learning, help them make connections between nature and food and support their decision making!
We can cook with some of the fresh veggies in the garden or simply use it as a learning point to gain an understanding of where fresh foods come from, how to prepare and cook with them, nature, sustainability and the journey from farm to fork - we've got it covered..and then some!
Children learn skills

Cooking with children builds endless skills. As well as refining those gross and fine motor skills, it also encourages creativity, exploration, investigation, learning through getting hands on, messy and playing with foods to explore their tastes and textures within the remits of their comfort zones.
There are endless opportunities to extend activities into numeracy tasks through weighing, measuring, dividing, portioning and enhance their literacy and oracy skills through reading recipes, talking through ideas, discussing their creations etc!
