Learning benefits
- 💡 Children practice early chemistry concepts as they observe how cold fat and leavening agents make dough rise into sturdy building blocks. They also refine their fine motor control and spatial reasoning by assembling multi-tiered structural towers that balance without tipping over.
Safety notes
- ⚠️ An adult must handle the preheating of the oven, placing the baking sheet inside, and removing the hot scones from the oven. Ensure children wash their hands thoroughly before handling food ingredients and use dull plastic butter knives or forks for mashing strawberries.
Cleanup
- 🧹 Wipe down the sticky wooden board with a warm, damp sponge to remove flour and strawberry residue. Wash the mixing bowls, forks, and baking sheets in warm soapy water, and sweep up any stray flour from the floor.
