Try this week with your kids
Noki suggests a first week of quests and rewards for your kids. You change what you like before you start.
Why it matters
Cooking for others builds skill, planning and generosity, and the family gets a night off. Teens who cook are ready to feed themselves later.
Steps for kids
- Choose a recipe the family likes.
- Check the ingredients and list what is missing.

- Cook step by step and taste as you go.
