Our counters are high so having a lower place for him to work at has helped. It's a bit harder when I have other kids over to cook (which happens frequently) so in those instances, we usually set up little cooking "stations" at our dining room table. Another option would be to get a washable table covering and place it on the floor, perhaps with a few bed/breakfast/tv trays and create workspaces for them that way, which would probably really appeal to the sensibility of little cooks. I used to do something similar when Zeal was 2-3 - he spent hours peeling carrots that way. :)Ginger Carlson, authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077913955520939528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207136361977064106.post-26753172629450888172008-04-22T04:18:00.000-07:002008-04-22T04:18:00.000-07:00My only complaint about our kitchen is lack of spa...My only complaint about our kitchen is lack of space for two children to work ... other than on the smooth top stove when it's off! Any suggestions for this; I see you have a little table in the center, which might work in our kitchen, too. Ours is not any bigger than yours, but the set up is less practical.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038370158284663729noreply@blogger.com
