how would cooking activities promote children’s sensory and intellectual development?.?

Answer 1

The link below gives more insight into how cooking activities promote a child's sensory awareness and help them develop intellectually as well.

Recipes help a child learn to follow directions to get the needed result. The measurements help them with mathematical equations. Recipes with a variety of textures, smells and tastes help develop their sensory awareness. Their vocabulary increases when you start these activities at the pre-school age. Their concept development is improved when they learn words that compare, like "liquid vs. solid" and so on. They start to understand the cause and effect relationship such as using juice instead of water in a recipe. They also learn to work as a team with other children.

A cooking activity is an excellent way to add "learning" to a child's day - especially on a rainy day and outdoor activity is not an option.
