Christmas Bakers

We have enhanced our role play area with a Christmas bakers shop. This week the children have been role playing, following a receipe and mixing all their ingredients together to make gingerbread. They have been using ginger scented dough to cut out their own gingerbread man shapes, using different sized cutters. Children have been encouraged to manipulate their dough first then roll it big and flat enough to place their designated cutter on. They have used raisins to add features on and then placed their gingerbread on the trys to put them in the oven, using the oven mits to ensure they don't burn their fingers. E.Y.P.'s have supported imaginative play, encouraging sharing and being kind and helpful to others.
