This morning was all about baking: finding ingredients, measuring, mixing, cracking, stirring and pouring! Friends joined in baking homemade banana muffins at the island.

We followed our recipe list in order and discussed relative sizes (cups vs. teaspoons). Friends practiced waiting patiently for their turn to add ingredients.

We also used our noses during the baking process and smelled vanilla, cinnamon, and BANANA!

 

The baking extravaganza continued with sensory play at the art table. We added oats, flour, “chocolate chips” (paper) and “sugar” (glitter) to our play dough and created pretend cookies.

 

The end results look delicious!

Have a great day.  – Jessica
