Children can learn about computational thinking concepts, like following a sequence of steps in a particular order, such as a recipe. Children can also learn about force and motion as they mix, roll out, and use cookie cutters to cut the dough.

• Place an anti-slip/stabilizing mat below the plates/bowls so they do not move.
• Use adjustable height table or adjustable chair if your child needs sit down or rest frequently.

For easier grasping, adapt the utensils by building up the handles or creating straps using household items such as masking tape or pool noodles.

• Narrate/sign your child’s actions as they interact and experiment with the utensils and ingredients (“Oh, you’re scooping with the tablespoon!”)
• Adjust the number of steps as needed.
• Use a variety of methods of communication (e.g., sign language, gestures) to meaningfully engage your child.
