Summer Picnic Cooking Workshop Series

🌿 Summer Picnic Cooking Workshop Series

Join us for a joyful, hands-on outdoor experience where little ones and their caregivers gather, create, and connect through food, play, and nature.

🌿 Event Details
Dates: Wednesdays – June 3, 10, 17, & 24
Time: 10:00–11:00am
Location: Jarvis Park, Maryville, TN
Ages: 2–6 with caregiver

This 4-week series is designed for children ages 2–6 and their caregivers to explore simple cooking skills in a relaxed, supportive environment. Each week, we’ll meet at the park to prepare seasonal recipes, engage in sensory-rich food play, and share a picnic-style snack together.

More than just cooking, this series is about slowing down, following your child’s lead, and building confidence through meaningful, shared experiences.

Over the 4 weeks, your child will:

  • Explore new foods through hands-on, low-pressure exposure

  • Practice simple kitchen skills like washing, mixing, and assembling

  • Engage in sensory play that supports development and regulation

  • Build confidence, independence, and curiosity

  • Strengthen connection with you and peers in a small group setting

What to expect:

Each session includes guided cooking activities, playful food exploration, and time to enjoy what we’ve made together picnic-style. Groups are kept small and intentionally formed to create a warm, connected experience for every family.

✨ Designed to be experienced as a full series, with each week building on the last.

Come ready to get a little messy, try something new, and enjoy a meaningful morning outdoors together.
