A Leprechaun sized Pot O’Gold Cookie!
Skills Addressed
- Fine motor: This craft requires bilateral hand coordination, such as holding scissors to cut with one hand while stabilizing the candy strip with the other hand. Squeezing the frosting bag is good for strengthening the hands and practicing how to grade the amount of force used. Squeeze the frosting bag too hard and too much comes out, too little and your clouds will look deflated.
- Utensil use: Spreading the frosting is great practice and will come in handy when it’s time to pack sandwiches for lunch!
To increase the challenge
- Have the child mix up their own frosting.
- Make multiple cookies for repetition and skills practice
Other modifications
- Consider subbing ingredients to make it dairy and gluten free. The Airheads contain wheat.
- Make your own homemade frosting and cookies.
- Make your own homemade frosting and cookies.
