Toddler Involvement Guide
Cooking is more fun when toddlers can take the lead! Here’s how to get them involved:
What toddlers can do
- Wash berries or other soft fruit
- Scoop yogurt into their cup or bowl
- Choose the toppings and the sequence
- Sprinkle toppings (granola, crushed crackers, mini chocolate chips, etc.)
- Layer fruit and yogurt: they love the “stacking” part!
- Taste as they go (because snacking is part of the fun)
- Cut strawberries or bananas
What adults may need to help with
- Cutting larger fruit (like strawberries, bananas, or mango), if they are not yet learned how to work with a knife
- Portioning yogurt if the container is heavy or full
- Ensuring ingredients are low choke-risk
- Generally monitor and help toddler stay focused
