First comes the butter (but we used margarine!)
Unfortunately you can't see Geovani well in this picture. But I was leaning against the counter while I watched them put the ingredients in the bowl, and he came up behind me to stand exactly like I was with his arm up on the coutner. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! :)
Eggs!
We have to give it a good mix to get all the chocolate in there!
Omar takes his tasks very seriously. He loves to pay attention and do a good job.
I was completely hands off for this stage, after I gave them the basic instructions. It was fun to watch them do it. I was actually impressed at how much Geovani understood. And both boys had a good lick of each finger after they had plopped each cookie down. I didn't have the heart to stop them. And the oven just bakes all the germs out anyway, right? ;)
Ready for the oven! After a quick adjustment from me. :)
Geovani's cookies! They also received a quick adjustment.
Eating!
The best part!
They each took home a goody bag of cookies to share with their families. I made sure to tell the families that the boys did a lot of the helping. I really want the families to understand how much their children are capable of and how they can include them in everyday life, without actually giving them a lecture.
The boys were so proud to take them home.
Awesome Naomi! OT and life skills all in one fun activity!! These boys are so incredibly.blessed (as I am sure you are in return) to be a part of your day program. I pray others are blessed by seeing how all Gods children are blessings!
