Using a box grater, carefully grate the zucchini into a bowl. Make sure to hold the grater securely and keep your fingers safe.

Grating is a fun skill! Keep your fingers away from the sharp edges of the grater. Use the handle to grip it firmly.

In a separate bowl, grate the cheddar cheese using the same grater. Add the grated cheese to the bowl with zucchini.

Grating cheese is similar to grating zucchini. It helps develop hand coordination and strength!

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini and cheese with flour, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir well until everything is mixed together.
