In this one time class, students will create their very own bugs using a few veggies and some cream cheese. Students will have the opportunity to create a brand new type of bug, or try to replicate a few favorite bugs! This will be a fun and interactive class where students will get to discuss their favorite bugs, and make a delicious snack! This class would be perfect for your budding entomologist! I will be actively demonstrating and making bugs with the students during class. During class we will start with a short introduction of all learners, review ingredients and supplies, and then begin the activity! No previous knowledge or experience needed. Agile finger and hand function is helpful in making our small bug snacks, but is not required. Allergen warning--this class uses a recipe that may contain dairy, soy, nuts, etc. Please reach out to me with substitutions if needed.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! My name is Mary and I'm a professionally trained chef with experience in restaurants, country clubs, catering, and institutional cooking. I love to train young chefs in the "hows" and "whys" of cooking so every meal will be delicious! I thoroughly believe in hand on instruction, for cooking there is no other way. There is a ton of math, science, and creativity involved in cooking, so I try to feature those elements as well whenever I can.
My sister is a teacher and I have learned a lot of good tips and tricks for introducing a love of literacy to young children! I enjoy reading aloud to my family and like to offer classes that involve reading and snacking!
I enjoy having inquisitive learners in my classes, you will not find a class that's all PowerPoint or an all mute class from me. I love for students to ask questions, be curious, and make comments. I love to eat, travel, read, laugh, and spend time with my kids and family. I also am passionate about arts and crafts and love to get messy once in a while with glitter!
If you have a child that's passionate about culinary arts please message me about one-on-one cooking lessons and/or sessions. I can also do private birthday parties where we can cook or bake together. Reviews
