Inspire Healthy Eaters!

Grades: 1-5 • Sharon Community Center, Kitchen Kids’ Test Kitchen is on a mission to get young eaters cooking, tasting, and thinking about healthy ingredients! Let’s continue to redefine kid food; one lesson, and one child at a time! Each class presents students with an opportunity to explore new or familiar foods in their raw, unmanipulated state. Then, working as a team, we’ll slice, dice, peel, measure, and cook until we’ve prepared the finished dish. Lessons are planned to celebrate seasonal produce as much as possible. Spring brings longer, busier days! Let the kids help plan and prep dinner – we’ll work to boost their confidence in the kitchen so you can enjoy meal prep together, or maybe – maybe – you can step aside and watch! At the end of class your aspiring chef will receive the main ingredient, or a sample of the finished dish, and the recipe so that they can show off what they’ve learned! Even the most reluctant eaters enjoy KTK, where participation is expected, but tasting is always optional. Each session arrives with fresh new recipes and ideas to inspire your healthy eater! 2022 SPRING session: Edamame Salad, Ener-Cheese, Asian Inspired Broccoli, Super Spear & Orange Stir-fry, Skillet Pizza with Veggies, Green Smoothie Kids have food allergies, but they shouldn’t miss out on the fun. We know allergies and can work around them, making sure that everyone is having fun and staying safe. *Please clearly disclose all food allergies and/or dietary restrictions upon registration.

Kids’ Test Kitchen is on a mission to get young eaters cooking, tasting, and thinking about healthy ingredients! Let’s continue to redefine kid food; one lesson, and one child at a time! For 6-hours over April vacation, young eaters, working together, will prepare entrées, fun snacks, and side items whose key ingredients are known to be really good for us! For 2 mornings, we’ll focus on learning practical cooking skills, while finding fun ways to enjoy the flavors of the season. We will use every second of our time together! Along with cooking and tasting, which will be the emphasis, we’ll also take short breaks to expel some energy and flex our brain muscles. Students will be dismissed each day with the focal ingredients or a sample of the finished dish, along with the printed recipe cards, so they can show off for you at home! Even the most reluctant eaters enjoy KTK, where participation is expected, but tasting is always optional. Each session arrives with fresh new recipes and ideas to inspire your healthy eater!

Discipline: A positive approach will be used when determining disciplinary action. The Sharon Recreation Department reserves the right to dismiss a participant. Each situation will be evaluated on its own merit.

Student Parking Passes Feb 15th — end of school year: $75 Availability of the parking lot at the end of the calendar year is based on weather conditions. The parking lot gates may be closed if weather conditions render parking in the lot too difficult, as the lot is not plowed. Each pass will list one vehicle.
