Made cookues

Science

• The child has learned about the different ingredients used in making cookies, such as flour, sugar, butter, and eggs.

• The child has observed the physical changes that take place as the dough is formed and as the cookies change color and texture while baking.
• They have learned about the importance of following a recipe and measuring ingredients accurately for successful baking.

Continued development can be encouraged by exploring other baking activities and experimenting with different recipes. This can help the child further understand the science behind food preparation and the changes that occur during cooking. Additionally, discussing the importance of hygiene and safety in the kitchen can be incorporated into future activities.
