Kids in the Kitchen - Reading Comprehension

By -
(Reference: Reader’s Digest, August 2004)
Children are experts at smushing, banging and ripping – so why not turn them into mini chefs? Cooking actually helps boost kids’ cognitive and physical development. Here is what young chefs can do and when:
• Two-year-olds
They are learning to use the large muscles in their arms, so let them scrub produce and tear greens.
• Three-year-olds
To master hand control, let them mix batter, spread soft butter with a plastic knife and knead dough.
• Four-to-five-year-olds
These kids are learning more refined hand and finger control. Introduce them to manual equipment like juicers and egg beaters, and teach them how to use measuring cups.

Cracking eggs; decorating a cake. Children can do most intricate tasks that do not include dangerous equipment, like sharp knives.
