Cakey Cat
Kitchen
Cakey Cat is a living cupcake who runs the kitchen, so his room is the one that maps most directly onto a real activity: baking together.

Three things to do in the kitchen
- Activity 1
Three-ingredient cupcakes
Self-raising flour, caster sugar and a tub of ready-made batter mix work fine. The point is the stirring, not the recipe.
- Activity 2
Decorate-your-own tray
Set out sprinkles, icing and a piping bag in small bowls so each child can finish their own cake without help.
- Activity 3
Measuring-cup maths
Ask for 'two scoops' and 'half a cup' out loud. Early number talk hidden inside a snack.
Cakey Cat questions parents ask
- Is Cakey Cat a cake or a cat?
- He is a cupcake with cat ears — a talking cake who bakes, which preschoolers find endlessly funny.
- What baking can a three-year-old actually do?
- Pouring pre-measured ingredients, stirring, spooning batter into cases and decorating. Keep the oven step to adults.
