Someone on BabyCenter suggested that they let their child play with flour in a bowl, and that their child would stir and pretend to cook with it. In theory this sounded like a fun idea. I was anticipating a mess, and thoughtfully chose a bowl that was deep. The stirring idea was not received well. Piper decided that the spoon would however, be useful to fling flour all over the room. I figured she would attempt to eat it also, but assumed that flour probably wouldn't taste very good, and oh well...it's not going to hurt her. Sure enough she decided to taste it...over and over. It did however keep her entertained for quite a while. Even after it was all over the floor, she still tried to pick it back up and put it back in the bowl. Hmmm...I'm not sure who learned more from this experience?
MMmmm!
This is her "Say Cheese!" face.
Piper loves to help me in the kitchen. This time we were making a pizza. She helped put all the toppings on, with my help of course. I had hoped that it would entice her to eat it as well, but she had other plans. No pizza for her. Maybe next time.
She even helped stir the chocolate chips in at the end.
She wasn't too sure about licking the beaters at first, but tried it out before finally throwing it on the floor.
I think she liked eating the cookies the best of all.
