What you need
- A familiar recipe

Adult guidance

Do it together
- Read the recipe together and count how many people it serves.
- Ask the child to find and measure two ingredients; name the fractions on the cups or spoons.
- Prepare the recipe together, with an adult handling heat and knives.
- Write down one change you would make next time, then clean the workspace together.
