Why Cooking with Kids Matters

Cooking with toddlers is about so much more than a cute photo. It’s about those tiny hands getting stronger, learning life skills they’ll use forever, and building bravery to taste new foods they helped create.

At Toddlers Love to Cook, we help you turn the ‘rush hour’ of meal prep into a beautiful moment of connection—one messy, joyful spoonful at a time

Read Our Full Story

It all began with my love for spending time with my then 18-month old son. I wanted to create fun, shared moments in the kitchen: something playful, hands-on, and filled with laughter. As a first time mother, it was overwhelming to find ideas that was fun for us to do together, especially at home, sin the kitchen. I wanted to use Montessori and other early education ideas with my professional experience as a Lean Practitioner, to bring you the combination of simplified steps, tips to foster independence while enabling a safer and less stressful environment for you as the parent.

You would think you’re Ms. Rachel with how much my toddler talks about you at home! And I’m not even kidding. He remembers all the activities you do and all the cards that you made and associates them with you! Meanwhile he’s never seen Ms. Rachel hahahah!

Cassandra

Love that you’re encouraging parents to involve kids in the kitchen in a real way! Kids benefit so much from your work by learning valuable motor and cognitive skills! Not to mention the improved connection between parents and children. Also love the idea of gamified skill building and recipes!
