- Counted the number of ingredients needed
- Measured and added specific quantities of ingredients
- Followed a recipe with step-by-step instructions
- Understood the concept of mixing and stirring
- Recognized shapes of utensils and tools (e.g., measuring cups, mixing bowl, whisk)
Continued development: Encourage the child to explore more recipes and practice measuring and counting ingredients. Introduce simple fractions when doubling or halving recipes, and discuss the concept of time and temperature when baking. Use kitchen tools to reinforce shapes and sizes, and explore related math concepts such as volume and capacity.
