This is an extremely active and intelligent 3-year-old boyI'm his aunt and want to do a painting for his bedroom.
The pan itself would also workThe cookies will have plenty of room to breathe with the sides being left onYou could evenly press the cookie dough into the bottom of the pan, lightly spritz with Pam and bake it that way if you have enough doughTurn it into cookie bars instead of cookiesCut when still slightly warmWearing gloves or just being VERY careful and mindful that aluminum is very SHARP I would take my pair of kitchen shears(scissors) and turn that pan into a sheetA very sharp butchers knife, handheld utility knife would also do the trickYou would then fold the edges over so there aren't any sharp edgesBe mindful that bright aluminum reflects heat so baking times may vary from the conventional cookie sheet.
Pretty Sure You Can, They Just Might Cook Faster That WayDon't Forget To Spray The Inside Of The Pan With Cooking Spray BEFORE You Put The Cookies In Just So That Way They Don't Stick.
I think Corrina means to bake the cookies with the aluminum pan UPSIDE DOWNHer statement reads,- on a aluminum foil pan, not inAnd yes, you canAm I correct?
I would think that the bottom would be so thin that the bottoms of the cookies would burn before the tops cooked properlyAnd, if you use two pans (one inside the other), the resulting air gap between pans would prevent the bottom of the inner pan from heating properlySo, you'd have the opposite problem: the tops of the cookies would be done, but the bottoms undercookedMaybe you could try folding a long sheet of foil into, say, thirds, to where you can set the foil pan on top of that to have a better heat barrier, while still allowing enough heat to cook the bottoms of the cookies.
Another suggestion, once you figure out what he is into, you can create a theme that is both pleasing and educationalFor our boys, we painted the 3 walls a shade of blue, with a Feature Wall painted in a blue/green colourOur boys are 4 and love watching Mighty Machines and playing cars and trucksWe then printed kids colouring pages all related to cars, trucks, cranes, forklifts,etc.printed them on transparencies, then borrowed an overhead projector from the public library and cast the images on the walls and painted away! For the girls room, we used the same concept, painting a big castle and fairies and things like thatFor the playroom, we have an outdoor activities theme with a park, fishing, skating, sledding, swimming, etc.very easy when using an overhead and very cheapOur children love their walls, and it encourages imaginative play as wellKids colouring pages are free online, and buying a paint pod of different colours was very inexpensiveYou dont have to be an artist, just have to trace the images on the walls and then paint them inWe especially like to play I Spy as there are MANY different ways to play, like matching up the fish and fishing rod for example.
