Peninsula Plus Kids in the Kichen
Have you signed up for our Kids in the Kitchen Holiday Program?
Learning how to prepare a variety of meals and dishes is an important skill in life, and the earlier children start the better. Cooking involves all the senses, is a fun way to connect with others and teaches children about a variety of skills including planning, organisation, safety, fine motor and even science!
Getting children involved in the kitchen is a great way to not only encourage them to eat a variety of foods but also allows them to practice skills that are transferable in other areas of their lives. With support from two therapists, children can practice and apply these skills in the kitchen and, above all, discover that cooking is fun!
To register: Call Peninsula Plus's Customer Service team on 5975 1500 (option 3) or email [email protected]
