Cooking & Craft Visual Recipes Bundle | 50 Seasonal Step-by-Step Recipes for Speech Therapy | Year-Round Visual Cooking

I made these 50 visual recipes so my students could actually FOLLOW the steps themselves without me reading every single word. Each recipe has the same super predictable layout — that black banner on top, a little “WHAT YOU NEED” section with real pictures, and then 4 big steps with hands showing exactly what to do. Kids get it right away.

What’s inside?
You get 10 recipes for each season (yep, Valentine’s, St. Patrick’s, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas… plus 10 “anytime” party recipes like Birthday Cake Cups and Balloon Cake Pops). That’s 50 recipes total!

And it’s not JUST recipes. I also threw in all the extras I was using in therapy anyway:
– Binder cover + color-coded season tabs + spine so your binder actually looks cute
– Lesson plan template that lets you plug in IEP goals and CCSS
– IEP goals sheet (so you’re not scrambling to find them mid-session)
– A full set of cooking vocabulary cards you can put on the word wall
– Comprehension cards with picture choices (great for data)
– Student + group data sheets
– A sweet parent letter to send home, and
– Black & white mini booklets — kids cut, fold, and take them home to make again with their families. Parents LOVE these.

How I use it:
I’ll pull a group of 4-8 kids (depending on age/need), lay out the vocab cards first, then let them take turns being the “chef” for each step. We’re hitting SO much without it feeling like work — vocabulary (flour, whisk, sprinkle…), verbs (pour, mix, knead), following directions, sequencing (first/next/last), answering questions, basic concepts, even social skills like taking turns.

No fancy ingredients, no reading level needed, and everything works in a real classroom or speech room. Print and go — seriously, that’s it.

If you’re an SLP, special ed teacher, or just someone who loves hands-on learning, this will be one of those resources you pull out every season. My kids literally ask, “When are we cooking again?”
