Kids in the Kitchen — Level A is a summer and after-school program for kids ages 6 to 9 years that uses USDA’s MyPlate. It encourages young people to eat healthier meals and snacks as a result of hands-on cooking experiences. Youth participants learn to prepare simple, healthy foods they can make for themselves and their family members. Each lesson includes kid-friendly handouts such as recipes and tips for how to use kitchen equipment safely.
