We chose "Cookin' in the 'Kid'chen" as our theme this year. Basically, it will be a kitchen set-up focusing on cooking with children.
Here are some pictures of Big T and Little A working on the fair booth:
Work on the fair booth started at 9am this morning and families are allowed to come and go as they are able. We stayed to help for a few hours but had to leave before noon so I don't have a picture of the finished booth yet. I'll post one in the next day or so after we go to the fair.
UPDATE: I took a picture of the finished booth when we went to the fair on Tuesday. I think it turned out really cute. You can't see it in the picture, but there are numbers placed on several items in the booth that correspond to tips on kitchen safety for kids. For instance the pan on the stove has a "2" label and if you look on the tip sheet on the side wall of the booth, number 2 says "Turn pot and pan handles in to avoid burns".

This is so cute. We'll be working on a cooking badge for our Mpact girls in the near future and I'm really interested in any info you have about cooking with kids.

I think my best tip for cooking with kids is don't be afraid of the mess. LOL! Just embrace it and have fun. Then teach them how to clean up afterwards with a "clean-up" song to make it more cheerful.
My children have always been welcome to pull up a chair to "help" me cook. Whatever I'm making, I can usually find a task suitable for them to do or help with. Mostly it just involves allowing a little more time to get things done.
Have fun cooking with your Mpact girls!
