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.

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