In this age group, there is a lot of variability in motor skills, independence, and the ability to focus, which means that some kids will continue doing the 2-3 year-old tasks, and others will feel ready to move on to the 6-7 year-old tasks. They will need close supervision to: Grate, peel, chop vegetables and herbs with a knife, and break eggs. This age group can do the following tasks with minimal assistance: Squeezing lemons or limes, using a plastic juicer, washing produce in the sink, drying produce in a salad spinner picking fresh herb leaves off stems, ripping them into small pieces tearing up lettuce, sprinkling dried herbs and salt, using a pepper grinder, kneading dough, scooping potatoes or yams out of the skins, brushing (or “painting”) oil with a pastry brush, using the rolling pin for dough or puff pastry, whisking together vinaigrettes, squeezing water out of thawed spinach, stirring, and mashing. This age group, however, needs very close adult supervision since their dexterity and motor skills are still developing. They are very tactile and love the concept of eating their art project.
