- Learned about mixing colors by combining different ingredients to make the dough.
- Explored shapes and textures while molding the dough into different cookie shapes.
- Used their fine motor skills to roll and shape the dough.
- Developed creativity by decorating the cookies with icing and sprinkles.
- Practiced following instructions and sequencing by following a recipe.
- Explored sensory experiences through touch, smell, and taste while making and eating the cookies.
To continue developing artistic skills, encourage the child to explore other baking projects that involve decorating, such as cupcakes or cakes. They can also experiment with different color combinations and patterns while decorating. For a more hands-on approach, encourage the child to create their own play-dough using flour, salt, and food coloring, allowing them to explore texture and colors in a non-edible art form.
