Fun Ways to Get Kids Cooking on School Breaks

If miniature shopping carts and toy kitchens have taught us anything, it’s that kids get really excited about some pretty mundane things, like grocery shopping and cooking. But instead of having them serve up yet another imaginary feast, why not build on their interest with real-life culinary skills? Meal prep is a great way to keep kids engaged during spring and summer vacations—plus it gives you one more helping hand in the kitchen. To that end, the Groupon Coupons team put together some easy ways to get kids fired up about cooking.
