Mathematics: Baking animal shape cookies

We baked some animal shaped cookies using flour, butter and sugar substitute. The children learned about  counting, measuring quantity/amount and also learned about different shapes. Pouring different ingredients in a bowl and them mixing them together, rolling the dough and cutting in different animal shapes helped them to develop their muscle control and eye-hand coordination. It also helped them to develop pride and confidence in their abilities and as well as motivated them to work in a team for their social development.
The children also got chance to eat the cookies in the afternoon for snacks. They were so excited and motivated during the whole activities.

Purpose:
To develop their early Maths skills as well as social and physical development.

Lpfö: 
Develop their understanding of space, shapes, location and direction, and the basis properties of sets, quantity, order and number concepts, also for measurement, time and change.
