Cooking pot
An outdoor activity that encourages imaginative play... while giving you a chance to relax!
Things you'll need
- A park or backyard
- A bucket, tub, old mixing bowl or handy hollow tree stump
What to do
- Find a stick to use as a stirring spoon
- Encourage your precious bundle to add "natural elements" (ahem, leaves and sticks) to their pot to make a stew. If they need help getting started give them some ideas - “Ooh these rocks look like delicious potatoes for your stew!”
- Sit back on a nearby bench or picnic blanket and let your little one serve you their amazing cooking creations. Be sure to suggest other things to cook - “Mmm those pancakes were delicious, can you make me a cup of tea?”
