Recipe cards for cooking with kids
Ulrich the pig loves to cook: recipes with pictures that children understand without much reading. Ingredients as icons, every step on its own card, amounts scaled to your servings. Take a ready-made recipe or enter your own.
Fills in the title, ingredients and steps below. You can change everything afterwards.
For example servings or pieces.
One ingredient per line, amount first: 200 g flour. Up to 14 lines. The tool picks the icon by the name.
One step per line, short and simple, up to 12 steps. Steps with the stove, oven, pan or a knife get the sign “With an adult”.
The amounts at the start of each line are scaled and rounded the way you measure them.
The whole recipe on one A4 sheet, good for hanging up in the kitchen.
The preview appears right away.
When printing, choose “Actual size” or “100 %”. Cut the step cards along the crop marks. If you laminate them or put them in plastic sleeves, you can use them in the kitchen again and again.
Your browser remembers nothing. Save your own recipe as a file, then you can load it again later.

Notes for parents and teachers
- 01Choose a recipe or enter your own. Every line is one ingredient or one step.
- 02Enter how many you are cooking for. Amounts like 200 g, 1 ½ tsp or 2 to 3 are scaled; lines without a number at the start stay as they are.
- 03Print the recipe sheet or the step cards. Without numbers, the step cards become a sorting game: what comes first?
Safety. The tool adds the sign “With an adult” when a step mentions the stove, oven, pan, cooking, frying, baking, a blender, a grater or a knife. It only recognizes these words: read the steps yourself once more before you start. Whether a child already cuts with a child-safe knife is your decision.
Rounding. Grams and milliliters are rounded to whole numbers, from 20 to the nearest 5 and from 50 to the nearest 10; eggs, pinches, bunches and pieces to whole numbers, spoons and everything else to halves. When baking, it is worth checking that the amounts still fit together.
Honey. Babies under one year should not eat honey. If honey is in the ingredients, the tool reminds you.
Icons. Recognized are flour, sugar, eggs, milk, butter, quark and yogurt, cheese, bread, honey, oats, water and many kinds of fruit and vegetables, in English and in German. For steps there are icons for washing, stirring, whisk, cutting, waiting, bowl, pot, pan and oven. Anything not recognized gets an empty box or no icon. The amounts stay in grams and milliliters, as on German packaging.
