Can I Help? 🦃 Kids of all ages can be of help with Thanksgiving Day Preparations!
🦃 Ages 3-5: Young children can help with setting napkins, forks and spoons on the table. Washing vegetables, decorating place cards, and sorting ingredients are all things they can do that make them feel involved.
🦃 Ages 6-8: At this age, kids are ready for tasks that need attention to detail like measuring ingredients, making simple recipes, filling bowls with snacks, and arranging centerpieces.
🦃 Ages 9-12: Older children can take on more responsibility for meal prep including chopping vegetables with a kid-safe knife, helping with the baking, creating a drink station, and preparing side dishes.
🦃 Teens are ready to take on nearly every kitchen task and can help with timing and coordination of the various items needing to be made. They can also help oversee the younger helpers with their tasks.
Most importantly, enjoy this time together creating memories and family traditions. Happy Thanksgiving!
