*Have a person come in and make a pizza with the children.  (If you don’t have anyone that can come in, make a large pizza in front of the children.)  Introduce the children to cooking safety; also talk to the children about good cooking habits.  (Wash your hands before touching food; clean the area that food will be touching, using pot holders for items that are hot, ect.)  Write down the cooking rules so that the children can refer back to it.
