Daily Routine Explorations with Your Young Child: Mealtime – Making Donuts
Description
Did you know making donuts is all about STEM learning? Children engage in computational thinking concepts, like following a sequence of steps in a particular order, and chemistry and mathematical concepts, like measuring and mixing ingredients. Suggestions for possible adaptations are built into this activity.
Environment
- Place materials within reach in a contained space for easier access
- Provide a step-stool or comfortable seated space for child to work
Materials
- Put ingredients in bowls/containers for easier scooping
- Place an anti-slip mat below the plates/ bowls so they do not move
- Use long/bigger handled utensils for easier grasping
Instruction
- Use visual cues to guide the activity
- Provide hand-over-hand or hand-under hand to explore foods better
- Narrate/sign your child’s actions as they experiment with the foods
