Summer is right around the corner, and if you are like many parents, you are wondering how you will keep the kids busy when school is out. Let us help you keep your children engaged this summer with the June, I MADE That! educational cooking kit.

The do-it-yourself kit is a fun opportunity for youth to learn valuable life skills in the kitchen while building healthy habits. Youth are inspired to tap into their inner chef and get moo-ving in the kitchen for National Dairy Month. The kits feature the June, I MADE That! booklet, where youth learn to use fresh summer fruit to make freezer jam and ice cream in a bag. There are also summer safety tips for bug bites, sun exposure, and fireworks. Plus, select ingredients for the recipes.

Register now for this June program offered by University of Illinois Extension and 4-H. Kits are $5 and will be available for pick-up beginning June 6 at our Extension offices in Jo Daviess, Stephenson, and Winnebago Counties. Register early to reserve your educational kit by calling our office at (815) 235-4125 or visit us online at go.illinois.edu/jswIMadeThat. The registration deadline is Tuesday, May 31, 2022.
