When they saw how much she enjoyed working with play doh and the amazing sculptures she could make they turned one of the out buildings into an art studio where they introduced her to clay and pottery making. No matter what she was doing or working on Lea would always stop working and clean up long enough before mealtime that she could go into the kitchen and listen to the chef prepare the meal. Over time she started helping him out by letting him know when something was done cooking, or by letting him know that he had poured out too much of something, etc. After a while the chef started letting her do the measuring. Then, he put her in charge of cooking something each meal as he slowly grew her culinary skills.
