How the Cooking Station Works

Before the event
We agree on the time window, expected number and ages of children, the venue and the format: with a kitchen or tables only.
Setup
Our team arrives early, sets up the tables and stations and lays out ingredients, tools and aprons.
Cooking in small groups
Children join in groups of up to 10 per instructor, cook or assemble a simple recipe and taste what they made.
Cleanup
We pack up the equipment and leave the space clean.

CORPORATE & PUBLIC EVENTS IN OTTAWA

Kids Cooking Station for Company Family Days, Holiday Parties and Festivals

Planning an employee family day, a holiday party with kids, a client appreciation event or a community festival in Ottawa? Cookiddoo runs a hands-on kids cooking station with its own instructors, ingredients and equipment. Children cook in small, supervised groups while parents enjoy the event, and our team sets up and cleans up.

Who books the station

  • HR and event teams planning family days, summer picnics and holiday parties
  • Festival and market organizers who want a supervised kids activity
  • Associations, parishes and cultural organizations hosting family events
  • Venues and event planners adding a children’s program to a larger event

What we need from you

The date and time window, the address, the expected number and ages of children, and whether the venue has a kitchen, tables, power and handwashing access. We confirm staffing and the recipe, then send a quote.

Frequently asked questions

What does a kids cooking station at a corporate family day look like?

We set up a supervised cooking area at your venue. Children join in small groups, cook or assemble a simple recipe with an instructor, taste it and make room for the next group. We bring the ingredients, tools and aprons and clean up at the end.

How many children can take part?

We staff the station on the ratio we use for school programs: up to 10 children per instructor, with an assistant from 11 children. For a large crowd, kids cook in rotating small groups, so tell us the expected number of children and the time window.

Do you need a kitchen at the venue?

A kitchen is optional. Without one we run a tables-only format with no-bake recipes, food assembly and decorating. With an oven and stove on site we can offer menus such as pizza, pasta or cupcakes.

What ages is the station for?

Children ages 4 to 15. Recipes and tasks are adjusted to the age mix, and knife skills are only for kids 7 and older.

How is the price set?

Each event gets a quote based on the number of children, duration, venue and format. Send the details through the form and we reply with a quote.

Is the station safe for children with allergies?

Our instructors are Food Handler certified and follow nut-free protocols. Share any allergy information when you request the quote and we plan the recipe around it.

Do you also cater food for the adults?

Yes. Cookiddoo prepares lunch catering for offices and events, see corporate & event catering.

Can you run a party for one family instead?

Yes. For a birthday at home see mobile kids birthday parties in Ottawa.

Other formats: all mobile parties & workshops, workshops for community centres and camps, school & daycare programs.
