I think that it would be really fun to do the make-your-own-snacks with What's Cooking + the Toddler Cafe activity. My preschoolers would love it!

This sounds like fun! My son and my nieces and nephew would enjoy this since some of them love to help me around the kitchen as it is. I can't wait. Thanks!!

I would love to win tickets to this event. My 3 year old would get a kick out of creating her own snack. She also loves treasure hunts. Thanks for posting about this new program. I'll look out for it, sounds like a great show.

I'd like to visit the Toddler Cafe! I have the book and it's amazing!!

Hi !

I just found what one has to do to win by reading this blog entry !! :).. We would love to go as my 4 year old loves to cook with me especially rolling out dough and picking leaves and I love to cook and so does my husband. It would be great to see the Google Chefs in Action and also learn more about cooking food for the kids as I am always trying to know more and more what is healthy and tasty and fun for my son and our family :).. So would really love to goo...

Thanks.. promila3@gmail.com

This sounds like a blast, we would love to visit the AZZIP, pizza making backwards and the blind smelling and tasting. Treasure hunts are always fun too!

Mom of 8 would love to take her little ones to this food extravaganza! My little chefs would have a blast and
so would I! Suzie 650 567-9387

Would love to go with our 3 kids ( also known as chefs for the day), and check out some opportunities for partnerships with our kids stores..Peek...Aren't You Curious!
They love food, treasure hunts, cooking and adventures!
