Adult and Child Cooking Safely at the Stove

An adult with shoulder-length hair and an apron over a collared shirt stands at a kitchen counter, smiling while stirring in a large bowl. One hand holds a whisk and the other holds a spatula. Beside them, a smiling child in a baseball cap and a collared shirt with a small badge on the chest looks on. Two round stove burners sit on the counter in front of them, and a window with a curtain is behind. The caption at the bottom reads, "Don't cook alone or without asking an adult." This free printable works well for a kitchen safety talk with young kids. Before coloring, ask children to point out the burners, the bowl, and the utensils, then talk about why the child is cooking with a grown-up. They could color the apron and cap in bright colors to make the two helpers easy to spot.
