Day 6: Make Cookies

Making cookies (or anything in the kitchen for that matter) can be a wonderful learning experience for children. Not only do children get to learn about using measurements for getting the precise amount of ingredients needed for the recipe but students also learn about how mixing various items results in a completely new form; in this case, cookies. At the end of the lesson, of course, is a tasty treat.

This can also be an opportunity to be a blessing to others. Package those cookies up in some attractive boxing with a ribbon and have your child give them to a loved one. Or head out on the streets with your child and hand them out to strangers and watch the smiles abound. Your child will learn to make cookies while learning measurements and how the act of giving can be a blessing to others. Not bad for a 1/2 hour of work!

Alternatively, you could make pizza but I wouldn’t suggest doing it this way.
