Make cooking fun
Take kids shopping with you so they can choose the ingredients themselves.
Give yourself plenty of time, and have some spare ingredients in case mistakes are made.
Choose something that will be simple and healthy. It can be fun to make something that the children can make into shapes or decorate with a smiley face.
You can get plenty of ideas from child-friendly recipe books or even kids' cookery programmes on TV.
Your child can even make their own personalised, printable cookbook using the My Change4Life Cookbook, which is full of child-friendly ideas and recipes. They, or you, just need to fill in their details, upload their photo (if wanted) and select the healthy recipes they'd like to try.
