Baby Sensory A-Z: U is for utensils

My original thought was to do umbrella but I had recently done the ice bucket challenge and didn't want to get wet going out in the rain. Do I research letter U activities and found Utensils.

I thought that could work. It was a quick session and we never did any craft or messy play with them but we could do some baking and siving next time. We could even paint with the masher. 

So I made up a kitchen utensils bucket and let them explore and encouraged them to make music and we role played goldilocks and the three beard eating porridge. 

Then my preschooler used the tongs ( which is the utensil he picked) so I got some recycled bottle tops and a muffin tray and encouraged him to count, sort and spell out the letter U.

Next time we will probably :-

Bake a cake

Make scrambled egg to use whisk or angel delight

Siv flour and raisins then make a cake

Mash some veg 

Paint / stamp with them

Make scented salt dough

Make Rice Krispie cakes 

Loads to do to make it last all day!
