AFTER-SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS BELOW

MONDAYS 2:35 – 3:35pm

SLOW FOOD DENVER: LIL’ SPROUTS COOKING CLUB COOKING

FOR Kinders, 1st, & 2nd Graders
MONDAYS – 9/26, 10/10, 10/24

Lil’ Sprouts is Slow Food Denver’s enrichment program that teaches children the entire seed-to-plate process. Our goal is to provide an interactive learning environment transforming children from passive food consumers to creators, and in doing so increase their health awareness. This learner-driven approach inspires children to develop healthy, lifelong eating habits by making the connection between where food comes from and how it is prepared. Children discover their own taste preferences, learn to create dishes they enjoy and derive self esteem as they learn new skills and gain confidence in the kitchen. Participation in the entire seed-to-plate experience results in a more intimate relationship with food.
