Cookie Math

ages 2-6

Supplies

Cookie dough and M&Ms or chocolate chips

Activity Detail

The next time you bake sugar cookies, use this activity to help your child work on counting skills and learn the significance of numbers. For example, your child can add three chocolate chips to a cookie because he is 3 years old, and he can create a cookie with 5 chocolate chips for his sister who is 5. Create a whole batch -- one for every member of the family, the day of the year, your child's birthday, and any other significant number you and your child can think of.
