     The Seasoned Kids

Lesson 10: Whisking

Whisking! It’s such a fun lesson. As with most of our lessons with kids in the kitchen, it can be a messy one.  Kids love to whisk really fast and see if they can make an even bigger mess, so it’s important to pay close attention here. It’s why it’s a later lesson even though it’s a super simple thing to do!

How to Start

We always recommend starting with non-hot foods. Whisking heavy cream and eggs are the perfect things to start with.  If you want non-food ideas to start with, you can have them whisk water and a few drops of dish soap for a fun sensory activity.  You can also let them learn how to make bath bombs. Once they have these activities down packed, and you feel comfortable with heat, try things like gravy.

Tips for teaching your kids knife skills

  • Use a learning tower to get them stable at the counter
    • Standing on a stool or sitting on the counter, doesn’t stabilize kids as much as a tower will
  • Grab child’s sized whisks
    • They are smaller and allow for them to easily hold
  • Use larger than you need bowls to avoid big messes

Recipe Time!

These Pretzel Santa Hats are perfect for after school snacks or snacks for holiday playdates. We used our whisk to make homemade whipped cream, then made the snacks. Watch the video, then grab the full recipe below!
