Kids cooking Do your children like to spend their time making awesome mud pies or are they constantly stirring up some of their best grass soup? Then maybe it's time to let them loose in the kitchen with these fun kids cooking activities.1. Allow your kids to create a new recipe.

The kids can also try a combination of cinnamon, eggs, flour tortillas, caramel sauce, and bananas. You may need to help them figure out "reasonable" amounts of each ingredient. There's no right answer; just have fun with it.2. Start a Kids' Recipe Book. Everyone has recipes they love, including the kids. Have your child pick out 10 of his or her very favorite recipes. Either you or they can type the recipes out on the computer in a cool font with borders and some clipart. Print them out and "laminate" them with clear contact paper.

How Children learn numbers Children initially would not know the meaning of the numbers as they cannot relate them to anything that they understand. Learning of numbers would however be possible by calling them out in an order and for each number objectively touching and feeling a concretized object which they can see, touch or feel. In the process the child would relate the number to the object that it is made to see & touch or feel. But by using many similar objects, it would relate only the counting but not the object to the number. It is easier for the child to learn numbers this way as learning best happens through an activity. Activity becomes a highlight in the process of learning numbers through looking and touching of the objects rather than the relativity of the number to the object, as the objects are many in number and similar making relativity of a number to a specific object cannot be established.By repetitive calling out of the numbers and touching and pushing the objects children get the sequential learning of numbers. This has been the reason why Abacus has the great advantage for children to learn the numbers. Children get interested...more
