cooking with 4/5 year olds at school

[mysonsmummy]

i am cooking with ds reception class on thursday - 5 of them and have 45 minutes max. pleaes give me some ideas that are so simple anyone could cook it. with as little fuss as possible. if i dont have any other ideas it will fruit salad i am afraid. (and ds will be mortified). thanks

cakes, cookies, choc brownies, maybe a refridgerator cake.(dont have a recipe for one tho), rice crispie cakes, corn flake cakes. do you have to cook can you take in some biscuits you have made and take them in and let the kids decorate them, you could then make some biscuits in the shape of christmas trees. run out of ideas now. hope one of these helps

maybe pizza, using pitta bread or ready made pizza bases, tomato puree, cheese and selection of toppings

Tuna mayo sandwiches - all you have to do is open the tins, they can do the rest.

couscous with mixed peppers and cucumber ... warm and easy just need stock

roast veg .. lots of fun chopping everything

muffins .. never fail

pizza .. easy peasy

scones are good if you want the extra educational dimension of measuring (whether you use scales or cups)

muffins sound good - but how?????
apple muffins???

flapjack - they can put all teh ingredients together - you make them and they mix them into the oats. They could choose what extras (raisins, apricots etc.) go in to custominse them and then you cook them.

Good luck.

help !!!!!

oh no still nothing!"

what about stuffed eggs (hard boiled eggs - mash yolk with mayo put back - not that imaginative is it?!?!)

have you got any kids cook books - that might be you r answer - the works has some good ones really cheap.

good luck!

do you want something sweet or savoury?? do you have to supply the ingrediants or do the school??

sorry you want a muffin recipe??

here

cheese straws

why do you have to find all the gear?
ask the teacher

Ds has made bread and flapjacks so far.

chocolate refridgerator cake

banana muffins

peppermint creams... v easy and no dangerous bits
christmas biscuits... basic dough and festive cookie cutters.... with decorations... make hole for thread to hang on tree with skewer before baking

tuna pasta?

MUsT TELL YOU WHaT HAPPENED WHEN I MADE CHEESE STRAWS WHEN DS WAS IN nURSERY (oops sorry) one of the parents came up to me and said * usually loves trying whatever he brings home from cookery but i dont know what you did to them he would'nt touch it and it had no cheese in it. actually i did let the kiddies try all the ingreds and stir and touch - just made it fun - hence the terrible taste. god i cant do both!!!

back to what am i going to cook - i like the idea of muffins so am looking at those links.

also tuna mayonnaise sounds good - i can do that at least.

mysonsmummy how was the cookery?
