What you need 

  • A simple baking recipe 
  • Baking utensils 

What to do 

  1. Try creating a simple biscuit or cake together.  
  2. As you add ingredients to the bowl, talk to your toddler about the texture of the ingredients and the changes as they are mixed.  
  3. Use words like hot or cold, hard, sloppy, stiff, squidgy, rough or smooth.  

Good to know 

While your toddler might not yet be able to differentiate, talking to them about opposites and changes in something will broaden their understanding of similarities and differences.
