Making Cookies - 13th September 2021

Updated: Sep 20, 2021

Spontaneous:

This morning Pico arrived at Centre with a gingerbread man doll. When we went outdoor Pico and Ruby took the gingerbread man doll to the sandpit. They wanted to cook cookies for their gingerbread man. Ruby asked me "Kavitha, can I have some water?" I replied "sure, why not?" and brought water in a bucket. On seeing the water Rowan, Hunter. H and Emilia joined with Ruby and Pico. Hunter.S was happy to join the group. The children happily included baby Hunter in their play. The children took a bowl and filled it with sand. Then they used the measuring cups to fetch water from the bucket and mixed the water with the sand in the bowl. After mixing the water with the sand they used their hands to make cookies. Ruby made her first cookie and showed me, "Kavitha, look at my cookie". Rowan, Hunter.H, Pico and Emilia made some cookies too. The children made cookies and placed them on the edge of the sandpit. Then they held the gingerbread man doll and started to feed the doll. The children had great morning playing together and interacted positively with each other. The children explored their own ideas through this sensory play activity.

Interpretation
