Jean Evans shows why
Young children love exploring a cupboard full of pots and pans at home.
Extend this exciting activity into your setting by using pots and pans to provide learning opportunities across the curriculum.
(Discard any items with sharp edges before children use them and, when cooking, keep the children at a safe distance from any heat source.)
Let's get cooking
Encourage the children to use pots and pans to cook up their own resources, snacks and meals.
* Invite children to make their own dough by measuring 200g plain flour, 100g salt, 2 teaspoons cream of tartar, 1tbs cooking oil, 300ml water and a few drops of food colouring into a large pan. Mix the ingredients thoroughly. Heat gently and stir constantly. When the dough is stiff, turn it onto a board, cool and knead.
