Life Skills - Discoverers - Simple Shortbread

This is a very easy 3 ingredient recipe.

Can your young person find the ingredients in the cupboard?

If they can't find the ingredients in the cupboard put all the ingredients on the table and ask them to find the specific ingredient or show them two ingredients and ask them to choose the one you need (they can indicate by picking it up, pointing or eye pointing).

There are the usual baking skills of mixing, creaming and shaping dough needed in this recipe but also there are some counting skills needed.

Again, if sensory needs dictate please allow your young person to play with the dough you can encourage them to press, roll a sausage, roll a ball, squeeze and break.  This is not only good for their sensory experiences but their fine motor control too.
