Cooking is a wonderful way to engage young learners in hands-on activities that build essential skills. At Kinderland Cambodia, children recently took part in an interactive cooking session where they prepared steamed corn from start to finish. This fun and educational experience allowed them to remove husks, steam the corn, and enjoy their delicious, healthy snack.

Hands-On Learning in Early Childhood Education

Practical experiences play a vital role in early childhood education. When children engage in real-world tasks like cooking, they develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving abilities. By removing corn husks, they practiced grasping and pulling movements, which are essential for writing and other daily tasks. Steaming the corn introduced them to the concept of heat and cooking processes, fostering curiosity and understanding of basic science principles.

Sensory Exploration and Cognitive Development

Cooking activities engage multiple senses—touch, smell, taste, sight, and even sound. When Kinderland students handled the corn, they experienced different textures and smells, reinforcing their sensory processing skills. These sensory-rich experiences support cognitive development by helping children make connections between what they see and feel.

Encouraging Healthy Eating Habits

Healthy eating starts with exposure to nutritious foods in a positive and engaging environment. By participating in the preparation of steamed corn, Kinderland students developed an appreciation for fresh, natural foods. When children are involved in food preparation, they are more likely to enjoy and choose healthy options. This activity not only made learning fun but also promoted lifelong healthy eating habits.
