Join us Friday at 10:30AM for Inspiring Grandchildren to Become Grand Cooks. RSVP by calling the Grayson County Extension Office at (270) 259-3492 or grayson.ext@uky.edu.

Getting children involved with cooking supports their development in many ways. Cooking helps children develop fine and gross motor skills. It inspires creativity and problem solving. Cooking can also help children practice following directions and gain independence. Language and literacy can develop through talking and reading about what they are cooking. Cooking increases children’s confidence and can increase their willingness to try and ultimately eat more fruits and vegetables. Learning cooking skills at an early age has lasting impact on attitudes about cooking, skills, diet quality, and health in adulthood.
