Learning benefits
- 💡 Participants develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination while manipulating small cookie crumbs and edible glitter. They also engage in imaginative play and learn about patterns and spatial arrangement through constellation design.
Safety notes
- ⚠️ Adult supervision is required, especially when handling hot cookies or using small decorations that could pose a choking hazard for very young children. Remind children not to rub their eyes with frosting-covered hands. Ensure any food allergies are communicated and addressed with alternative ingredients.
Cleanup
- 🧹 Scrape excess frosting and cookie crumbs into a compost bin or trash. Wipe down work surfaces with a damp cloth. All bowls and utensils can be washed with warm, soapy water for shining results.
