Safety Thoughts
Be careful peeling and chopping the squash as its raw material is slippery and tough. Be careful taking the pan out of the oven; use oven mitts!
Grownup Guides
This is a great opportunity to include both younger and older kids in meal preparation. Enhance the experience by…
- Finding videos that demonstrate how to peel and cut a butternut squash.
- Using smaller units of measuring spoons to add up to a total to practice math.
- Allowing kids to take photos of their completed tacos.
Know the Lingo
Mince: To cut something in teeny tiny pieces
