1 . Measuring : With older children , it could be a great practice for using measuring cups and spoons ! Pour flour , oats , coconut flakes , sugar and chocolate chips in different bowls and put an appropriate measuring cup next to them . Measuring the right amounts of ingredients was not something I could expect of my two-yearold , so I measured them myself and put the right amounts of ingredients into different bowls .
2 . Pouring Skills : For my son , it was a practice of his pouring skills . At two , toddlers are getting more confident with transferring liquids and solids from one cup to another , but it is still providing a challenge for them , so they enjoy doing it ! Using a spoon to get flour from a bowl into a jar is a good fine motor skills practice for toddlers , and pouring oats directly from a bowl into the jar helps them learn how to pour a drink for themselves .
