Cooking nothing at all
⏱️ 10 min📦 things you have🏠 indoor🤲 sitting💛 Social-emotional
Pretend cooking works because a toddler has watched the real thing a thousand times. An empty pot and a spoon let them run a sequence they know by heart, in an order they choose, with nobody telling them how it goes.
🧺 You need
- an empty pot and a wooden spoon
- one or two empty containers
🛡️ Everything cold and off the hob, and away from the real kitchen while anything is cooking. A pretend pot near a hot one is how the pretend version gets tried for real.
