Yesterday Bunny and Wallie cut up all the chicken for our chicken salad. I helped them get started by cutting the chilled, pre-grilled breasts into long strips and they went to town with their own knives: a plastic knife for Wallie, and a butter knife for Bunny. Once the chicken was cut, Bunny helped me to rip butter lettuce into bite-sized pieces and then she rinsed the black beans and dumped them into the salad.
Bunny loves to cut and everytime she helps me she says, "Can I help you with dinner tomorrow night?"
You'd be suprised at how much can be cut with a really dull knife, so go on. Take the help where you can get it. Let your kids cut things!
