Simple but effective, this simple flipping activity was a smash hit with the little ones. It’s the no heat, child safe gross motor activity you never knew you needed!

Why not let your little ones do the mixing this year, it’s another great way to hone in on their general gross motor skills!

Something as simple as cooking together is such an effective bonding activity, allowing your child to work with you in the kitchen shows a great amount of trust that they will appreciate and remember for the rest of their lives!
