GET YOUR TODDLERS BAKING

BANANA OAT COOKIES
2 Ripe bananas
1 3/4 cup Oats
Choose any of these: Chocolate chips, raspberries, blueberries, cinnamon
Or let your #toddler choose their own flavors
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 4
line a baking tray/sheet with baking/parchment paper
In a large mixing bowl mash the bananas really well, until smooth. Add the oats and mix until fully combined.
Add in any additions to suit taste
Form tablespoon sized cookies and place on the prepared baking tray. (make sure to form cookie shapes and not balls as these will not spread into shape like normal cookies)
Bake for approx 15 mins, or until cookies are golden and set.
Allow to cool before eating.
RECIPE NOTES
The riper your bananas the sweeter your cookie will be.
You can use rolled oats, quick oats or oat flour.
Blitz rolled oats in a blender for a couple of seconds to break them down a bit.
You need roughly 165g of oats to two large bananas. This roughly equates to 1 3/4 cups rolled oats or 1 1/2 cups quick oats /oat flour.
Add a range of additional ingredients to change the flavour profile (e.g spices, lime/ orange zest, choc chips, dried fruit etc.
Store in an airtight container for 1-2 days or freeze.

BASTER SQUEEZE & PAINT
Squeezing and releasing can be a difficult concept for younger kids so trying this fun activity with your toddlers can be a great way to spend an afternoon. All you need is a baster or a smaller medicine dropper, a roll of paper towel, paints, a plastic tablecloth and an ice tray or a few small bowls. This is a great activity for the little ones to help develop their motor skills but if they are struggling with the squeeze technique let them use a teaspoon or tablespoon, it’s just as fun.

GAMES PROMOTE CHILDREN'S SKILLS
Sheltering in place has taken its toll on most but especially folks with young children. Time to dust off those classic board games like Candyland, Chutes and Ladders and Go Fish and let the kids enjoy some fun times with the family while they improve their math skills. These games also help to promote social skills, such as taking turns, sharing, counting and color matching. Games also include rules which require self-control, patience and the stimulation of the working memory. Don’t forget about the great games like Simon Says and Red Light, Green Light for some added activity. These games will also help them to learn to wait their turn. Don't worry if they want to play the same game over and over, they are learning along the way.
