Why Use Recipe Cards for Kids?
When it comes to preschoolers and these pretend play recipe sequencing cards, there’s more to it than meets the eye. Think of them as little educational powerhouses. These cards aren’t just about arranging steps; they’re like a workout for those small hands, honing fine motor skills as kids play chef.
And it’s not just a visual game; it’s a mental workout, too – a little brain gym that encourages logical thinking and problem-solving. Plus, these cards turn playtime into a language adventure, with kids weaving their own stories while whipping up imaginary recipes.
And here’s the teamwork bonus: as they team up with buddies, they’re not just playing – they’re building social skills and learning to cooperate. So, it’s not just about play; it’s about setting the stage for well-rounded growth in those early years.

Can this activity be used multiple times, or is it a one-time use?
Definitely reuse this preschool game over and over. You can always print multiple copies, but I recommend laminating for durability. I’ve designed many of the activities to be used in multiple ways and the materials to be interchangeable between activities.
Does this activity support healthy development in early learning?
Absolutely! They are aligned with supporting the healthy developmental needs of preschool children. As a cognitive psychologist, I investigate the data behind how children learn best. And I use that info to structure my activities so your child is learning in a developmentally appropriate way. Research shows that worksheets are not appropriate for Pre-K age kids. And my activities are anti-worksheets. My activities require kids to use their hands to manipulate them in order to complete the activity. They do not require kids to have any writing abilities (unlike most worksheets). And they would align with a structured play-based preschool program. Also, while not strictly Montessori-focused, they are Montessori aligned.
Are instructions included?
Always! All of my printables include a Field Guide To Play and Printing Guide. With clear instructions on printing & setting up your activity, tons of activity ideas with step-by-step instructions, and even how to engage with your child while you play to inspire them to learn.
