Montessori Monday – 30+ Breakfasts Kids Can Make for Mothers and Fathers

June 8, 2015 By Deb Chitwood 3 Comments

I love it when kids prepare a Mother’s Day or Father’s Day breakfast! (A birthday breakfast is wonderful, too!) Whether it’s in bed or at the table, simple or elaborate … it’s awesome!

30+ Breakfasts Kids Can Make for Mothers and Fathers

Montessori Food Preparation Activities

Food preparation is an important part of Montessori practical life activities. If your child has been working on food-preparation skills, there are many breakfast items they can prepare, even as preschoolers. And toddlers can also help prepare a special breakfast. The level of difficulty will simply depend on your child’s age and experience with food preparation.

Montessori-Inspired Food Preparation for Preschoolers

You’ll find lots of food-preparation activities in my “Montessori-Inspired Food Preparation for Preschoolers” post. You’ll find a number of breakfast ideas in that post, too.

Breakfasts Kids Can Make for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or a Parent’s Birthday

I looked for easy, healthy, and fun breakfasts kids can prepare at a variety of ages.
