Reluctant eaters learn that food is safe and fun! And everyone practices essential life skills like teamwork, time management, patience, along with the obvious skills like slicing, measuring, and cooking! On a mission to redefine kid food; Kids’ Test Kitchen’s enthusiastic Facilitators get eaters of all ages and abilities, cooking, tasting, and thinking about healthy ingredients!  Kids’ Test Kitchen presents kids the opportunity to explore new or familiar foods in their raw, unmanipulated state. Then, working as a team, they’ll slice, dice, peel, measure, and cook until they’ve prepared the finished dish. Class closes with an opportunity to taste the result of their hard work. Students receive a printed recipe card and the focal ingredient - or a sample of the finished dish - so they can show off what they learned!  Even the most reluctant eaters enjoy Kids’ Test Kitchen, where participation is encouraged, and the choice to taste is always one’s own. Lessons are planned to celebrate seasonal produce, whole grains, and legumes. Yes – join us again! Each series of classes offers fresh new recipes to prepare and explore! Kids have food allergies, but they shouldn’t miss out on the fun. We know allergies and can work around them, making sure that everyone is having fun and staying safe. *Families who have students with allergies or other necessary dietary modifications will be required to complete our diet modification form before the first class. Let us know about your student https://kidstestkitchen.com/prep  *Recreation Staff will plan to meet the children at the end of the school day and walk with them to class.

Each class begins with movements to release habitual tension and improve posture before adding exercises that build upper and lower body strength. This sequenced approach avoids “toning in” or reinforcing poor postural habits that can contribute to repetitive strain, wear on your joints, and discomfort or pain. Exercises will engage your natural ability to recycle the forces of gravity to reclaim balanced postural alignment, tone your core, put spring back in your step, and live in your body more comfortably.  Each class includes movement applications for daily activities in order to sustain the benefits.  We will be standing, seated, and on the floor. Please bring a yoga mat and a bath-size towel to class. Shirley Lynch, MS, OT, LMT, Certified Aston Practitioner™, is an occupational therapist and massage therapist in private practice in West Concord MA offering manual therapy, movement education and fitness.  For more information contact Shirley at shirleylynch44@gmail.com
