Every Day Begins New

Here some of the Montessori inspired Practical life kitchen activities both of my children have been involved in. Many of these food prep activities have been repeated many times over. I always try to find some way that they can be involved when I am cooking or baking.

Peeling and chopping bananas and using tongs.

Cutting cheese using a crinkle cutter (first knife).

Chopping apple for a snack.

Chopping grapes.

Peeling a carrot. We do often leave the skin on but sometimes my eldest likes it peeled.

Grating cheese.

Using an apple slinky. These are great fun.

Cutting fruits and vegetables ready for juicing.

Squeezing oranges using an electric citrus juicer.

Chopping cucumber and carrot.

Scooping avocado.

Squeezing a lemon to make a dressing.

Pouring in some olive oil.

Collecting ripe tomatoes from our garden, washing and chopping them.

Spreading nut butter on a biscuit.

Using a melon baller and making a fruit salad.

Using tongs to transfer sultanas from one bowl to another.

Sifting flour.

Mixing with a wooden spoon.

Pouring a drink.

Pouring milk into cereal.
