Are you willing to teach your kids a recipe or two and make them able to prepare themselves a simple treat? LearningMole is not just to teach kids science, maths and crafts, but there are also those educational videos that would let them know about some recipes.

Belfast Cookery School helped the kids in this educational video to know how to prepare French crepes and gave them a simple recipe so that they could easily do it. Of course your kids are not big enough to be kept in the kitchen alone - if they are the same ages of Aaron and James - and use the tools inside on their own, but they could still be there while you are preparing them and give you the help you might need.

Who out there would say no to crepes? Kids will never do and that is why the chef, Ian Hunter, decided to give them the tips for something they would love to do and eat. Our chef at Belfast Cookery School gave the recipe to the kids and also made the crepe with them, telling them through the way how to pour the mixture into the pan and how to flip it - he even flipped it over and succeeded, upon their request.

One of the things we loved about Belfast Cookery School and the way the Chef helped the kids to learn how to make French crepes was the counting technique which the chef paid attention to and made it the task of the kids - he first asked them to count the number of eggs he was going to use into the mixture, and then he asked them to count to three for him to flip over the crepe inside the pan.

It is always important to pay attention to the details and while you are teaching your kids to learn something, make sure to insert some other educational lessons within the process; let them count, let them solve problems, let them choose names and words or support you with some, etc. because that is the effective way that would keep the information in the mind of the child and give him/her the chance to recall it whenever he/she needs.

There are lots of ways to engage the kids in the cooking process and teach them a new recipe to try. In the case of Ian Hunter, the chef at Belfast Cookery School, he first told the kids about the ingredients which they are going to create the crepe with, he let them help with putting the flour into the big bowl, and finally he gave every one of them a whisk - himself included - and they all worked on creating this mixture and preparing it.

This is an effective way to let the kids feel that they have done something, learned a new recipe for a thing they love to eat and at the same time to remember the ingredients they have used because they have actually gone through the whole process. Some people go further than this and let the kids do more and share more in the cooking process, but again this will all depend on the kid's age.

Another technique Hunter chef used with Aaron and James while preparing the French crepes was giving them the permission to add their touch at the end of the journey and decorate the crepes with the fresh fruits which he have prepared for them earlier - and of course they were the ones to eat the whole thing at the end of their mission :-)

LearningMole offers different educational videos and resources which the kids could depend on to learn something new and this happens in different fields that include science, maths, crafts and of course cooking.

In science, we have brought facts for the kids about the solar system (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTQKy19e2OQ), we have informed them about the hottest planet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMDndNpqd8I), the biggest planet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h7DLa7o2Lc) and the smallest planet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E7zoFBwLU0) and other things as well.

In math, we have lots of videos that teach kids multiplication, subtraction, addition and division through using Lego (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roMEZv1OObc) and also through using play doh (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBsj-t9809E) which is also helpful when it comes to creating shapes and patterns.

If you have any questions, shoot them and we will be more than pleased to answer you and give you the help needed!
