Fantastic books + fun food = one of my favorite classes ever. Cooking Art.
You'll find the syllabus below. Click on it to read through the course description, target age, outline of classes, and supplies needed. I don't see the materials fee on this class, but I charged $12 per student for the food.
My biggest tip for this class it to model the food art before you hand everything over to your little students. I always did demos for the kids before letting them start.
I tried to choose some healthier options for this class. It is amazing what kids will eat if they are the ones making it!
Party Sandwiches
Flower Fruit Bread
Vegetable (and cheese) Kabobs
We also made some dessert items.
Dipped Brick House
Rainbow Snow Slushies
the beginnings of a Tiny Trifle (these were SO yummy!)
You can download my lesson plans for this class HERE. The file doesn't include the recipes for the food we made. You'll find the recipes (and dozens more) in this fabulous book by Mary Ann Kohl:
Love the pictures of the kiddos! They look they are so enjoying themselves!!
Since the holidays are upon us, I thought I’d go ahead and give you an idea for an Easter project. I know it’s a little early, but time does fly! When you get to Easter, you might be interested in using my book “What’s in an Egg?”. Glorifying God, it is an introduction to reproduction in a natural way using duck eggs. A great addition to an art project dipping eggs!
I love this! I am teaching Art at Co-op this year to 3-4 yr olds. I wish I had seen this earlier!
Thank you for sharing!
I love this. The syllabus is illegible, however, and it seems like it might be cut off (I can’t identify the targeted age range.)
