The kitchen is still the heart of the home. Food is central to family activities and entertaining. Today’s homeowners want an open concept house with the kitchen open to the living and dining areas, where kids and parents can communicate across the areas and feel connected. Kids love to sit at the kitchen table with a snack and do their homework. The kitchen is often the place where family memories are created, making cookies with Grandma, pancakes with Dad, holiday dishes with Mom. Kids learn kitchen manners, which are to leave the kitchen cleaner than you found it. Kids can help cook the food, keep the kitchen sanitary, and set the table. Kids can also make it more beautiful by arranging fruit in bowls, veggies in hanging baskets, and herbs in vases. Many refrigerators are decorated with kids’ art work. People stay connected with food in the kitchen at holidays, celebrations, and family meals. Kids feel loved in the kitchen.
