For my birthday, I brought in "naked" cupcakes to work for my kids to decorate. We were going to use the usual icing, but at the last minute (perhaps a Freudian craving?!) I decided to use ice cream instead. This was a lot of fun for the children to participate in. Picking up the tiny sprinkles (one boy cleverly put every other one in his mouth!) was an excellent fine motor task they surely didn't get tired of. Spraying the whipped cream on top of the cupcake was a definite crowd pleaser and got a lot of smiles as it shot out! And of course, the best part was eating the cupcakes. For some, the sprinkles they painstakingly put on top proved to be a little of a sensory/tactile speed bump in enjoying their creation, but it was good lesson in texture and once they got past them, the ice cream and cake was fully enjoyed.
The teachers also got a nice little mid-morning treat as well :)
