Cooking with children is one of the best ways to make connections across many disciplines. We’re not just making food, we are teaching science in action; helping lay down the basic math, reading and time-telling; encouraging communication and deepening connections with children. Indeed, cooking with the little ones is nothing short of awesome.
The recipes are carefully selected so that there is no cutting, chopping or fire involved. Though we keep it as simple as possible, the children end up learning quite a bit. By the end of the day, the children knew how to make sandwiches, desserts, salads and short bites.
Here’s a glimpse of how our little master chefs enjoyed making their recipes!
Saturday, 19th December 2015, was celebrated as Annual Day at Ekya Early Years, J.P. Nagar. The programme began with a prayer song led by the choir group. The theme was Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, or ‘One World, One Family’, depicting the unity in diversity that characterizes all mankind. Outstanding acting by the play’s cast kept the audience glued to their seats even as the narrative slowly unfolded. With actors decked up in colourful costumes, the play was enjoyed by one and all. The performance was the fruit of many, many hours of tireless work by both the students as well as teachers. The unceasing applause at the end of it all proved to be a just reward for all the hard work that was put in.

From toddlers to K2s and seniors, everyone took part in our ‘Cooking without Fire’ activity and rolled out lip-smacking food. And they liked it so much that they preferred this to the tiffin prepared by their parents! So parents, please—if there’s a little leftover in your children’s lunchboxes today, don’t blame them. Blame it on their cooking skills instead! Enjoy these pictures as much as we enjoyed seeing the children try their hand at this vital life skill!
