Cook
Cooking means several things happen at once: water boils, something fries, the knife keeps moving. The cards below help you pull the steps apart so nothing slips away.

About this visual support
The kitchen is a place where everything moves at once. Pasta water has to come up, the onion needs to brown before the meat goes in, and meanwhile the table should be set. For children and adults who lose the thread when several things compete for attention, dinner can quickly become scorched or half-finished.
Visual support for cooking works like an external working memory. Each card stands for one task, and you can arrange them in the order your recipe actually needs. When the child helps with one part, such as peeling carrots, that image can stay open while the rest of the sequence waits.
A concrete tip: split cooking into two rows, one for the stove and one for preparation at the counter. Then it becomes visible what has a timer running and what can sit still for a while. In the Routined app, you can also attach a timer directly to cards such as boiling water or frying, so the alert rings exactly when it is needed.
