Kids who love to help in the kitchen or dream of becoming a baker will especially enjoy bringing this aspiring cook to life with their favorite colors. Encourage your little artist to imagine what yummy dish the young chef is preparing as they color, perhaps a birthday cake or a savory meal. Try this after coloring: After coloring, pretend to cook a favorite dish together, using imaginary ingredients and kitchen sounds. Create a simple 'recipe' for an imaginary snack, drawing the ingredients and steps on another piece of paper. Talk about healthy ingredients the young chef might use to cook a nutritious meal.
