July 23 is Sprinkle Day—a delightful celebration of the colorful sprinkles that add fun and sweetness to our favorite treats! From cookies to cupcakes, sprinkles make everything more festive. This holiday is a perfect excuse to combine baking, creativity, and learning. Here are some fun ways to celebrate Sprinkle Day with kids.

Science

  • Ingredient Reactions: Discuss how ingredients like baking soda and baking powder help cookies and cupcakes rise. Use videos or simple experiments to demonstrate.
  • Sprinkle Science: Compare different types of sprinkles (jimmies, nonpareils, sugar crystals) and observe how they react to heat. Do they melt, spread, or stay the same?
  • Color Exploration: Talk about how food coloring gives sprinkles their vibrant hues. Create a mini experiment by mixing colors and discovering how they combine.

Math


  • Measuring Ingredients: Teach kids about measuring cups and spoons while baking. Have them practice addition and fractions as they follow the recipe.
  • Sprinkle Sorting: Give kids a handful of mixed sprinkles and have them sort by color. Then, create a bar graph or pie chart to show the results.
  • Estimation Fun: Ask kids to estimate how many sprinkles are in a small container and then count to see how close they were.

Art


  • Edible Art: Decorate cookies, cupcakes, or donuts with sprinkles. Encourage kids to make patterns, designs, or even pictures using sprinkles.
  • Sprinkle Collage: Use glue and paper to create sprinkle-covered art. Draw shapes or letters and fill them in with sprinkles for a textured masterpiece.
  • Sprinkle Shakers: Repurpose empty sprinkle containers to make fun musical shakers. Fill them with beads or rice and decorate the outside.

Language Arts

  • Write a Sprinkle Story: Have kids write a short story about a sprinkle’s journey from the factory to the top of a cupcake.
  • Sprinkle Poems: Create rhyming or acrostic poems using the word “sprinkle.”
  • Favorite Sprinkle Treats: Write about their favorite sprinkle-covered desserts and why they love them.
  • Sprinkle Story Time: Read a sprinkle themed book together.

Physical Education

Keep the fun going with sprinkle-themed movement activities:

  • Sprinkle Relay Race: Set up a relay where kids carry sprinkles in a spoon without spilling them.
  • Dance Party: Celebrate with a “Sprinkle Dance Party” to upbeat music.

Snacks


  • Decorate Together: Bake cookies, cupcakes, or donuts and let kids decorate with their favorite sprinkles.
  • Sprinkle Milkshakes: Blend up a vanilla milkshake and top it with whipped cream and sprinkles for a colorful treat.
  • Sprinkle Popcorn: Mix sprinkles with melted white chocolate and drizzle over popcorn for a sweet and crunchy snack.
