Biscuits Decorating Workshop

Cooking provides children with ample opportunities to develop coordination.  Pouring ingredients from a measuring cup into a bowl and kneading dough are just a few examples of how having fun cooking at school promotes body awareness.

In addition, preparing food helps to develop fine motor skills through activities such as breaking eggs, chopping, stirring, pouring, cutting, etc.

Mixing ingredients and using cookie cutters, for example, are great ways to increase strength and control in fine motor activity, which is essential for other tasks like writing, cutting and coloring.
