KITCHEN

Just because you don’t have access to a full kitchen, doesn’t mean you can’t explore the fascinating world of food together! Get your chef’s hat ready and find a virtual solution from the suggestions below.

FREEZE FIRST EXPERIMENT

Challenge your Little Brother/Sister to this kitchen science experiment using just a few simple ingredients, an ice cube tray, and a freezer! If your Little Brother/Sister won’t have access to the school’s freezer, you can use your own kitchen to set up your experiment and get your Little Brother/Sister to handle the hypothesis.

Tip: Turn it into a friendly competition by making guesses as to which will freeze first!

Add various kitchen liquids (milk, water, dish soap, syrup) to your ice tray, pop it in the freezer, and you’re ready to go! Since your Little won’t be able to see the live results, make sure you stop by the freezer and take some photos or videos to review together next time.

SMORES MUG CAKE

This easy, no-bake recipe from Delish is one that can likely be made in your Little Brother/Sister’s school kitchen with minimal supervision or support. All you need is the ingredients, a microwave, and 15 minutes! Keep in mind that you’ll need to check with the school in advance to ensure they have the materials on hand, and whether they’re able to set up a laptop in a kitchen area.
