In addition to the recipes, there are suggestions for seasonal activities. Some of these include making placemats out of fall leaves, observing holiday customs from different countries, planting a vegetable in a garden or clay pot, arranging summer flowers for a centerpiece, and many others. Each season offers its special blend of ideas and suggestions.

Help your children develop to their fullest in all areas of their life. Encourage them to want to help you. Involve children in food activities and projects all year around! Recommended for ages 5 through 12.
