Pretend Cooking

Pretend cooking is a game where you pretend to make food. You choose vegetables or bread and put them on a plate. You do not really eat it; you have fun by pretending.

🤔 What kind of food would you like to pretend to make?

Cooking uses ingredients. Carrots, tomatoes, rice, and bread are also ingredients. Look at the colors and shapes, and think about what to make.

🤔 Which ingredients are red? Which ingredients are round?

Pots and frying pans are cooking tools. In pretend cooking, you pretend to stir or pretend to cook something in a pan. Real fire and knives are only used when you are with an adult.

🤔 Which tool do you use when you stir?

Put the finished food neatly on a plate. Say “Here you go,” and pretend to eat. After playing, put the tools away in the basket.
