Happy Friday! Today is #worldbakingday and I wanted to share what the little one made yesterday. About 3 times a week I get home after work and she’s baking. Yesterday she made muffins. I reminded her she needed an egg and maybe some butter but she did the rest. She mixed it, lined her cupcake pan, poured, decorated, and asked me to put them in the oven. She makes a HUGE mess but nonetheless we encourage her. This kid is fearless when it comes to baking. I let her experiment. Baking is a great tool for learning. When we bake together I encourage to read the recipe (language arts), to follow directions and be patient (social skills), to measure out her ingredients (math), to look at how the ingredients relate to each other (science), and to be creative (art). So, next time your child asks you to bake go ahead and get messy.
