Every Thursday parents are invited to cook with my daughters kindergarten class. I have been reluctant to participate due to the fact that one of her classmates is severely allergic to nuts. He has been sent to the hospital many times this year due to contact with nut.reactions. They have asked that we do not even serve nuts or nut butter for breakfast before sending our children to school. We have even been asked to not use shampoo that might contain nut oils. I need easy recipes that 5 and 6 year olds can participate in.

Thank you so much,

Mom who wants to help!

  1. In my opinion..the kid ought not be in the class. If he is that bad off with allergic reactions they should keep him home and home school. Why should all the other children suffer for his problem? This is way too much. Good heavens!!!??? If i had a child that reactive i would not subject him nor you to his problem.


  2. TRY HAM & CHEESE OMLETS

  3. While not technically "cooking," one fun thing that can be done with Kindergarten students is to show them how butter and yoghurt are made.  For the butter, you can just bring in heavy cream, perhaps a bit of salt, and a beater, and have the children take turns beating until butter forms.  If you use a hand mixer, more children will get to take turns. You could pause when it is in the "whipped cream" stage and they could taste that as well.  Believe it or not, a lot of kids think whipped cream comes in a can. They can eat the butter on crackers, so they can get a taste of what they have produced.  Yoghurt takes a bit longer (only takes a couple of days), but you could get it started and have the teacher follow up (check on its progress). The children could add flavors or fruit when it's done (e.g. vanilla, lemon, granola, blueberries or strawberries, etc.).  There are good recipes on-line for yoghurt-making.  Actually, once you have the yoghurt made, someone could take it a step further and make cheese, which our daughter  has done--also easy, with recipes available on-line.  The class would need to have ready access to a refrigerator if either yoghurt or cheese making are attempted.

  4. these are both kid-approved. good luck.

  5. This is a cute idea.  Fill ice cream cones with pudding, sprinkle with crushed graham crackers on top, then bend over a piece of licorice from one side of the cone (in pudding) to other side of cone (in pudding) to look like a bucket handle. When all finished they look like buckets of sand. They kids LOVE them.

  7. Everyone LOVES rice krispie treats!!

  8. After reading the book Stone Soup, cook some stone soup. If there are vegetarians, start with vegetable broth (otherwise use chicken broth) and a clean stone.  Add small pieces of ordinary vegetables.  Par-boiled or steamed vegetables can easily be cut with not-so-sharp knives.  Consider making pasta dough kids can roll out and little kids can cut animal shapes with aspic cutters.  Or, make small dumplings to cook in the soup.   Add snips of parsley and things like v-8 juice adds a little zip.
