The "Everyday Learning" series has been developed to focus attention on the everyday ways in which children can be supported in their growth and development. Many of one's earliest memories are likely to be about time spent in the kitchen. Licking the bowl, setting the table, doing the dishes, chatting about the day, eating a meal, peeling the vegetables, and experimenting with cooking are experiences familiar to many children. The kitchen is not only a place to prepare and store food but also can offer an unlimited number of learning opportunities for children. Science, language, maths, chemistry, physics, reading, nutrition and hygiene knowledge are being used and explored every day in the kitchen. Children who spend time with adults in the kitchen are being offered opportunities to explore all these topics. They will also enjoy sharing with the important people in their lives. This document outlines a range of ways in which babies, toddlers and preschoolers can be involved in the kitchen, stimulating their senses, their thinking and co-ordination skills. It gives parents, grandparents and caregivers ideas that they can share with young children to enhance their developing capacities and make everyday activities fun! Some of the topics highlighted in this issue include: (1) Learning in the kitchen; (2) Babies, Experiences--things to do; (3) Toddlers, Development--what to expect; (4) Preschoolers, Development--what to expect, things to do; and (6) Some useful recipes. A brief section listing resources and references is also included. [This document was produced by Early Childhood Australia, Inc., formerly known as the Australian Early Childhood Association.]
