As a parent, demonstrating good role modelling and talking about the hazards we are exposed to in everyday life, supports your child in learning about their environment and the risks they need to manage as they grow. It is not about removing all hazards entirely, this is impossible, it is about teaching them about how the hazards affect them and making the right choices to control their impact. Take a few playdough or biscuit cutters with you to the beach or outside in your sand pit. Show your baby how they can use the cutters to make shapes in the sand! Talk to your baby about the cutters they are using Whilst cooking, children will hear and develop new vocabulary, for example ingredients they may not have heard of and skills they have not used before such as “peel”, “sieve”, “whisk” and “combine”. These opportunities will support your child learning and using new words.

During cooking, children will have the opportunity to use both their fine and gross motor skills, for example chopping, stirring, whisking, cutting, sieving and pouring. All these experiences will support children in developing the control and muscle movements that are needed for handwriting.
