Among the many virtues of involving children in cooking are the educational opportunities.

And it goes much deeper than just mastering how to make Mom and Dad a mean chili. Cooking is a fun and easy way to teach children math, science and culture.

Learning by Doughing offers parents an easy tool to help them work those lessons into the fun of cooking.

These cooking kits (offered for math, science, zoology and geography) include curricula for toddlers through teens. Math is taught with pretzel making, while zoology has children making animal crackers and science involves bread baking.

The math and science kits are also organic. A nice touch is the list on the outside of the packaging alerting parents to what other supplies are needed, such as vegetable oil, pencil and paper, and measuring cups.
