Pre-schools are all about little kids indulging themselves in extracurricular activities through which they can learn in their formative years. Through arts and crafts, indoor or outdoor games, incorporating music and even cooking sessions, entertains and teaches the tiny tots a lot of things. Jordan Adams (@JordanKAdams97 on X) shared a fun activity that his nephew did along with his pre-kindergarten classmates and it's even better than what anyone could imagine. "My nephew Ethan’s pre-k class made a cookbook and all the kids had to come up with all the recipes so much better than I could’ve imagined," the caption of the X post read, alongside four pictures of printed-out recipes created by the kids.

The four pages on display were straight-up hilarious. The first panel featured a recipe for eggs written by Ethan himself. The dish called "Ethan's Eggs" needed a prep time of 1 hour but it could be miraculously cooked in 2 seconds. The eggs would cost only $3 and would require pancakes, sugar and Skittles. "First you put pancakes and then the sugar and that's it. You can cook it but you can go to my house and I will give you eggs because my mom makes eggs all the time. You can eat them with a spoon. Don't put anything on them because that's how you make eggs with nothing," the funny cooking instructions read. 



 

Next up, a girl named Ariana created her own macaroni recipe. Ariana's macaroni had some surprisingly inedible items on the list of ingredients such as toys, a backpack and even a doll. Ariana wrote instructions about cooking the macaroni which were more chaotic. "First you put the macaroni in the stove and now you put it in the end," the instructions read. "Put it in the oven and put more melted cheese. Now, you need to tell everyone that it's time to leave and I have to leave because I am going to a party at a swimming pool." As if these two recipes weren't bizarre enough, there were two more on display. 

Another boy named Joe proposed a brand new taco recipe that might or might not be edible in the real world. Joe planned to make his tacos with meat, lettuce, taco shells, cheese, potato and tomato. Joe was confused about where to buy these ingredients so he declared it right away. He was also uncertain about the whole taco recipe as he was only accustomed to eating tacos from Taco Bell. Instead of writing down an actual recipe, Joe continued to rant about his bitter experience with burritos and beans.

In the end, a boy named Sebastian wrote that his pancakes would cost $70 and the only ingredient he would need was salt. "You get a thingy from the house and you put it in the hot thingy. Turn on the hot thingy and it burns so you have to be careful. You make something and put it in and it cooks," he wrote. "Then you get a plate and finish it. Don't leave the plate on the table. You have to throw it away in the sink or flies will get on it," Sebastian concluded his cooking instructions. The comments section of the post was joking and asking for the actual recipe from the kids.



 



 

@McClarah commented, "Oh my goodness thank you so much for sharing this. I absolutely loved it. I have a huge smile on my face, so cute and funny I knew I was going wrong with my pancakes." @_smallandangry shared, "Ariana has the same name as my niece and she tells stories like that. I'm wondering if there is something about the name and girls who do whatever the hell they want." @thecraftykitten remarked, "Joe's Tacos sounds very similar to my thought process when I try to make dinner after a long day. I'll stare into the cabinets and fridge like dinner will magically appear before giving up and eating a bowl of cereal." @floydthedog added, "This is me when trying to explain anything that I cook! Starting to think that I need influence from my mum instead of the 3 and 4-year-olds I work with."
