Cybèle Young’s work is both meticulously precise and playfully creative, which is what makes it so wonderful. In this activity, children will experiment with creating images similar to those in Nancy Knows. This chocolate zucchini bread experience not only invites fun and creativity but also supports mathematical development through size comparisons, spatial reasoning, problem-solving, categorization, and shape recognition.
