On Tuesday 20th May Reception had a design and technology parent activity that involved decorating the previously baked chocolate chip cookies. The children worked hard and took their time to plan and design their cookies – linking with World Bee Day. The children used colours in their design that they knew we had as food colouring, to make it easier to copy when decorating their cookies.
We used fine motor skills to carefully measure out the water that would be added to icing sugar to make sure it did not go too runny. We then added food colouring to the icing and applied it to our cookies carefully, trying to shape and draw on our designs with the icing.
The children and their grown-ups then bagged up their cookies to take home and enjoy. We had so much fun baking, decorating, and sharing our bee facts.
