Meal Times


Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner it's always a good idea to feed the children something healthy. Something fun to do for the child you are watching is make a menu for your meal time with a few choices and let the kids order from it. It will give them more choices and they will like pretending they are in a restaurant!! (Kids have big imaginations) While in the kitchen make sure there are no knives or other dangerous, sharp objects around. If you are watching a baby than make sure not to hold a baby while working near a stove or carrying a hot drink. If you are watching young kids or toddlers make sure to put there drinks in sipee cups. Most definately never let children run or play with food in their mouths. If you are cooking something that the kids can help you with then let them. Kids enjoy helping out when they can. If while you are cooking it envolves the oven, knives, or anything dangerous than don't let the children help. Following these few tips will help make meal time more fun and safe!!!!
