Traditionally, children present fathers with gifts like ties, socks or best-selling novels. But, somehow these tokens of affection seem to lack the care and spirit that dads truly deserve. This Father’s Day, why not do something different for dear old dad?. ; To all young children out there, here’s a simple Father’s Day sugges- tion that is guaranteed to make fathers feel important: Make dad a special home-made meal, And if kids enlist moms to lend a helping hand, it can be an experience for the whole family to enjoy. ; According to Rena Coyle, a cooking instructor renowned for her work with children and the author of My First Cookbook, Baby Let's Eat and My First Baking Book, most young chil- dren Would'love the opportunity to make their father's dinner for Father's Day. . “Childreri uly enjoy experimenting in the kitchen," says Coyle. “Many of the activities are similar to their own playground experiences — scooping flour can be related to shoveling sand, molding dough to shaping clay, and pouring ingredients to filling buckets of water at the beach. The special bonus is that children can actually eat what they have created and experience areal sense of accomplishment.” « Today, many young children are already learning to cook and loving it. A recent survey conducted by the American Frozen. Food. Institute * reveals that more than 60. percent of American children, as young as five ~ and six years old, help their parents . cook. Additionally, more than 70 per- cent of contemporary moms actually feel comfortable having their children cook. “Teaching children to cook is alse a great way for moms to spend quality time with their children,” says Coyle. “The recipes needn't be complicated -— moms can work in short cuts wher- ever possible. Simple recipes which involve combining frozen food items with simple ingredients are a great way to start children off. Working with prepared foods is also a quick and casy way for children to build a balanced meal.” Making dads dinner on Father's Day can also be an educational experi- ence. This is an opportunity for moth- ers to teach their children safe kitchen practices, introduce them to the basic food groups and explain why certain foods are nutritious and other foods should be avoided. : “Best of all, the more experience children get, the more experimental they will become,” says Coyle. “And if you and your husband let them know how proud you are of their Father's Day concoction, culinary masterpieces may appear on the table regularly.” The following simple Father's Day recipe is designed for young children to prepare, bul moms just might find it a quick and easy dinner option for eee ee es ee a ee them to fix as well, a AWESOME MANWICH ENTRY FORM MOLSON INDY 3. 6-ounce packages of frozen Name: Sean See a ts Coe eee Cut an opening in each section.
