Learning benefits
- 💡 This activity helps them develop hand-eye coordination by scooping and sprinkling, understand sequencing by following a recipe, and explore sensory textures with the soft apple and spices.
Safety notes
- ⚠️ Adults must handle all cutting, oven use, and hot items. Never leave a child unattended with a hot oven. Allow apples to cool completely before the child handles or eats them to prevent burns.
Cleanup
- 🧹 This activity makes a fairly contained mess, mostly limited to a bowl and spoon which are easy to rinse. Wipe down the counter, and the parchment paper catches any drips on the baking sheet for easy disposal.
