This is a great way for children to discover how food changes after it cooks. Make homemade pizza with your child. Buy frozen bread dough and let is rise by sitting out at room temperature for several hours. Grease a cookie sheet and give your child part of the dough. Children can be creative making their pizza. They may make a simple circle or a shape or even the letter of their name. The more creative, the better! They can add sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake pizzas in the oven at 375 for 15 minutes.
While enjoying the meal that they helped make, talk to your child about what happened to the dough. They will discover how it went from soft, squishy dough to a hard crust. Discuss how this happened. What happened to the cheese? Discussions such as these will help children notice the world around them!
