Toddler's Motor Cooking Skills

Toddlers Making Wraps

Involving toddlers in the kitchen can be a wonderful way to foster their development and independence. Making wraps is an ideal activity that not only introduces them to the world of cooking but also helps enhance their motor skills in a fun and interactive way.

Thnk of the fine motor skills:  Wrapping ingredients in a tortilla requires fine motor skills such as grasping, pinching, and rolling. These actions help to refine hand-eye coordination and dexterity. As toddlers sprinkle cheese, scoop salsa, or spread a condiment, they are working on their ability to control small movements.
