Our Review.
Ayla helped mix the brownies ready for the oven, and of course gave it a taste test after every mix π I added the correct measurement of each ingredient but I asked Ayla to name each one before I measured them out were I could I counted out loud how many spoonfuls of water and oil we needed. Mixing the ingredient together is a great way to practice gross motor skills as well as introducing the change that happens when different ingredients are mixed together. Because Grace was at school when we made the brownies she decorated them for us! This is great for fine motor skills because you have to squeeze the pens as well as creating the design you want! I spoke to Grace about what she was making and what her favorite colours were.
