Melissa & Doug’s Slice and Bake Cookie Set also includes fun extension activities you can do with your child.

• Ask your child to sort the cookie toppings into four similar groups and identify the colors on each topping.
• Ask your child to make cookies to order. For example, you might request a cookie with chocolate icing on top, or two cookies with sprinkles on top.
• Ask your child to slice the cookie dough into 12 cookies, counting aloud. Now ask your child to place a cookie topping on each cookie, counting to 12 once again.
• Ask your child to count the candy circles on one cookie topping. Ask your child to count the candy circles on two cookie toppings, then on three cookie toppings. When your child is able to count all nine candy circles, ask your child to count sprinkles by color, one cookie topping at a time.
• Ask your child to prepare four or more cookies with different cookie toppings. Ask your child to study the cookies, then to close his/her eyes. Remove and conceal one of the four cookies. Ask your child to describe the missing cookie.
• Ask your child to tell a story about the cookies she/he is baking. Is there a special party, holiday or event they will be used for?
