Learning through Cooking in the Kindergarten

We are currently exploring the topic of Dinosaurs and one of the activities the children were involved in was baking dinosaur vanilla biscuits. Our students were engaged through their senses, and this was a great time to introduce them to new smells, textures and tastes. From measuring to mixing to kneading, there are many actions in baking that allow our children to practice and enhance their motor skills. They all helped with the mixing, pouring and flipping. Cooking helps them learn about how different foods look and how they are made. Children are more likely to try new food if they’ve helped to prepare it.
