There are so many reasons to cook with your child this back to school, and we’ve got some tips to make the process as simple as possible.
Cooking with your children is a brilliant activity all year round, but it’s particularly great in the back to school period for so many reasons. It’s a way to bond with your child while ditching the screens. As you cook together, they’ll learn vital life skills and, with busy hands, they may also feel comfortable to open up about their day. Plus, once you’re done, you’ve got a delicious meal to tuck into.
With kid-approved meals, a huge range of choice and handy and step-by-step instructions, HelloFresh makes mealtime a breeze.

Have them hunt for utensils
HelloFresh list all the utensils you’ll need, so before you start cooking, challenge your child and see if they can track them down for you.
Appoint your child Chief Ingredients Officer
HelloFresh users get sent pre-measured ingredients, which means you’re not nipping out to the shops last minute or faffing about with weighing scales. As a result, you can put your child on ingredients duty. Put them in charge of unboxing the ingredients and allow them to arrange them for your neatly on your countertop. Then, when you need a particular ingredient, ask your little one to source it for you.
Put your child in charge of instructions
HelloFresh breaks down recipes into simple step-by-step instructions, so if your child is old enough to read, ask them to read them out to you as you cook!
Plate up like a pro
HelloFresh will send you images of what your dish will look like, so channel your inner chef and see if you and your family’s plates can measure up to the photo.
Happy cooking!
