What if cassava became your children's favorite game?

What if cooking became an adventure for your children? With cassava, it's easy—it's colorful, fun, and edible!

Here are ideas for little ones (3-6 years old) and older children (6-12 years old)—because cooking together also means learning together.

For 3-6 year olds—Play before you eat

At this age, the goal is to touch, smell, discover—not to cook perfectly.

The Texture Game

Show them cassava flour and ask them to touch it. "Is it soft? Granular? What does it feel like?" Then show them attiéké. Two very different textures, same plant—kids love this magic.

O'Kassava Mini-Pancakes

Let them pour the batter into the pan with you. Coin-sized mini-pancakes—they can top them themselves with fruit, honey, or jam. Pride guaranteed.

Sculptor Attiéké

Cooked and slightly moist attiéké can be molded like playdough. Let them make shapes—stars, animals, little people—before eating them!

For 6-12 year olds—Cooking for real

At this age, they can actively participate in the preparation.

Mini-Chef Challenge

Each child creates their own O'Kassava pancake with their choice of toppings. Then a family vote for the best creation. Friendly competition, delicious results.

The Trip to Côte d'Ivoire

Prepare attiéké with them and tell them where it comes from—Bingerville, Antoinette, the women who make it by hand. It's a lesson in geography, culture, and solidarity all at once.

My O'Kassava Bowl

Each child composes their own bowl with attiéké, vegetables, and proteins they like. They learn to balance a plate while having fun.

Amelan's advice

"Cooking with children means teaching them where food comes from, how it's made, and why it matters. Cassava is a way to open a window to the world for them."
