Christmas Cookie Mark Making Tuff Tray Pack

Bring festive sensory play and early writing skills to life with the Christmas Cookie Mark Making Tuff Tray Pack.
This delightful hands-on activity invites children to explore mark-making in flour while copying Christmas cookie–themed patterns and shapes, supporting pre-writing development in a playful, meaningful way.

This pack includes:
A challenge prompt: “Can you make these marks in the flour?”
A set of mark-making cards featuring Christmas cookie outlines such as a heart, candy cane, star, mitten, stocking, bell, Christmas tree and gingerbread person
Suggestions for provision: mixing bowls, rolling pins and cookie cutters to enhance imaginative play

The activity encourages children to trace or recreate the marks in flour, building early fine motor control and pattern-making skills within a festive theme.

EYFS Links
This tuff tray setup supports several Early Years Foundation Stage areas:
Physical Development – Fine Motor Skills

  • Mark making in flour builds hand strength, finger control and coordination—all essential for writing readiness.

Literacy – Early Writing

  • Copying patterns helps children develop the movements needed for letter formation, while exploring lines, curves and shapes.

Expressive Arts & Design

  • Children explore textures and patterns creatively through sensory play, using tools like rolling pins and cutters.

Communication & Language

  • Talking about the shapes (heart, star, tree, gingerbread person) builds vocabulary, descriptive language and shared storytelling.

Personal, Social & Emotional Development

  • Children work alongside peers, take turns with tools, and gain confidence experimenting with marks in a low-pressure environment.

Perfect for winter provision, continuous provision enhancements or festive fine motor stations, the Christmas Cookie Mark Making Tuff Tray Pack offers a magical blend of sensory exploration and early writing development.
