The Lima Family YMCA launched their cooking class, "Snack Attack." This week, kids aged from 7 to 13 years old followed a recipe to cook up some fresh strawberry breakfast tacos. The cooking program not only allows kids to develop and build critical cooking skills but also allows them to integrate important lessons and concepts from the classroom, such as math and measurements, into following instructions.
Kids aged from 7 to 13 years old followed a recipe to cook up some fresh strawberry breakfast tacos.
In this week's class, we talked with a 12-year-old about what they think about cooking.
"I really enjoy cooking. I like coming here so that I can make the food, and then I can eat it after, have a little snack. We're learning social skills, how to cook food, how to prepare food, how to use the stove safely, how to cut things safely, work with people, and work in groups together, and really, you're just hanging out with a bunch of people and having fun together," said Frankie Burden, 12-years-old and cooking at the Lima Family YMCA.
