What Kiddos learn- 1. Weight and measurements as they cook with you. 2. Addition & Subtraction, as you 'play', 'sing' & eat with them. Teach them counting. How? 1 jelly, 1 piece, 2 pieces, half , quarter. Add a little tune -Singalong as you stir concoction with your child. Sing to the tune "Here we go round the mulberry bush" Here we go round, we stir and stir, We stir and stir, We stir and stir, Here we go round, we stir and stir, To make our Konnyaku Jelly. 3. Texture/ Sensory Learning. How does it smell? What does it taste like? How does it feel? 4. Fine Motor Skill. Detaching jelly from mould.
Kiddos learn as they explore, engage and experience with you.
Happy Learning!
